1.0INTRODUCTION
1.1General
This manual is designed to assist in the installation and operation of the Daniel™ Series 1500
Turbine Meter. To assure proper installation and startup it is important to read this manual in its
entirety.
1.2Description
The Series 1500 Turbine Flowmeter is a volumetric flow metering and transmitting device used
extensively in the petroleum industry for the accurate measurement of hydrocarbon and oth er related
process fluids. The meter's clean lines and simple configuration assures higher flow rates,
extended flow range and sustained performance capability.
The UMB (Universal Mounting Box) provides an explosion proof, weather resistant housing for
both single or dual pickoffs as well as the preamplifier board. An optional dual UMB is available
to house additional dual pickoff coils and preamplifier board. The UMB serves as the mechanical
mounting connection necessary for local and remote accessories.
The Series 1500 Turbine is ideal for applications requiring high frequency resolution. Applications
may include systems with flow computers or any component of the Daniel preset family of
petroleum management equipment.

Ratings
The maximum working pressure for the Series 1500 Turbine Meter is based on the
temperature/pressure rating of the ANSI B16.5 flanges. The following chart lists the maximum
working pressure of both 304 stainless steel and carbon steel flanges at 100°, and 180°, and 400°
F. For maximum working pressures at intermediate temperatures, and for other materials, refer to
ANSI B 16.5.
