for Low Viscosity and Non-Aggressive Liquids NSF/ANSI Standards 61 and 372 Certied
DESCRIPTION
The Vision Turbine Meters comply with the lead-free provisions
of the Safe Drinking Water Act. Available models include meters
that are:
• Bisphenol A (BPA)-free
• Certified to NSF/ANSI Standards 61 and 372
The meters are designed for flow measurement of lowviscosity, aggressive and non-aggressive liquids alike, including
demineralized water, alkaline solutions, oils, salad oil, fuel/fuel
consumption, beverages, water solutions and coolants.
• The BV1000 flow range is 0.026….0.65 gpm (0.1…2.5 lpm)
• The BV2000 flow range 0.13…9.2 gpm (0.5…35 lpm)
• The BV3000 flow range 1.32…17.17 gpm (5…65 lpm)
The meter is especially suitable for washing machines, dishwashers,
coffee machines, laser cooling plants, solar solutions, bakery
machines, steam cooking machines in large kitchen plants, and
CD or DVD cleaning.
• Medical Applications: Sterilizers, slide staining, dental water
jets, and dialysis machines
• Chemical and Pharma Industry: Dosing systems and
bottling plants
• Industrial applications: Cooling systems, washing machines
and plants, dosing systems, water treatment units, filter
monitoring systems, and solar plants
• Automotive: Fuel consumption measurement and
fuel injection systems
FEATURES
• Compact size
• Measurement in any meter orientation
• Operating pressure up to 362.50 psi (25 bar)
• Temperature range of –4…212° F (–20…100° C)
• Accuracy of ± 3%
• Resolution up to 83,000 ppg (22,000 ppl), depending
on the model
MEASURING PRINCIPLE
The rotor is turned by the liquid force proportional to flow. A Hall
effect sensor supplies pulses that can be used for digital or analog
signal processing. The generated pulses are specified as a K-factor.
OPERATING PRINCIPLE
Liquid flow causes a bladed turbine inside the meter housing to
turn at an angular velocity directly proportional to the velocity of
the liquid measured. As the blades pass beneath a magnetic pickup
coil, a frequency signal is generated.
Each pulse is equivalent to a discrete volume of liquid. The
frequency pulse is directly proportional to the turbine angular
velocity and the flow rate.
The large number of pulses provides high resolution. As the mass
of the turbine is small, the response time is fast. It is not necessary
to install a straight length of pipeline upstream of the meter.
The simple mechanical construction of the Vision meter provides a
long lifespan without any loss of accuracy. Pressure spikes less than
the burst pressure rating do not affect the measurements.
