FTB-1300 Series Turbine Flow Meter

General Description:

The FTB-1300 series of turbine flow
meters is designed with a wear resistant
rotor assembly to provide trouble free
operation and a long service life. Fluid
moving through the flow meter causes the
rotor to turn at a speed proportional to the
flow rate, and as the rotor blades cut
through the magnetic field of the pickup,
an electronic pulse is generated.

The pulse train is used to represent the
actual flow or total amount of fluid passing
through the flow meter. The number of
electronic pulses generated per unit
volume is known as a K-factor. The value
is constant over each flow meter's
operating range, and is unique to each
meter.

Operating Limitations of the FTB-1300 Series Turbine Flow Meters

:

1) Pressure - 5,000 PSI max

WARNING: Pressure in excess of allowable rating may cause the housing to burst and cause

serious personal injury.

2) Corrosion - The internal parts of the meter are constructed of stainless steel (316L & 1.4122) and
carbide with nickel binder. Be sure that the operating fluid is compatible with these materials.
Incompatible fluids will deteriorate internal parts, and cause the meter to read inaccurately.

3) Pulsation - Severe pulsation will affect accuracy, and shorten the life of your meter.

4) Vibration & Shock - Severe mechanical vibration may decrease service life of the meter.

5) Filtration - A strainer should be installed upstream of the meter if small particles are present (see
Table 1 for filtration requirements)
