GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The Omega FTB-1400 Series turbine flow meter is designed with
wear resistant moving parts to provide trouble-free operation and
long service life. The turbine repair kit allows easy field repair of
a damaged flow meter, rather than replacing the entire flow
meter. Repair parts are constructed of stainless steel alloy and
tungsten carbide.

Fluid moving through the turbine flow meter causes the rotor to
turn at a speed proportional to the flow rate. The rotor blade cuts
the magnetic field of the magnetic pick-up, which in turn
generates a frequency output signal that is directly proportional to
the speed. The signal is used to represent flow rate and/or
totalization of fluid passing through the turbine flow meter. See

Figure 1 for typical turbine meter assembly.

FIGURE 1

Each turbine meter repair kit is factory calibrated to ensure
accuracy throughout the entire flow range. Each kit is complete
and includes a new K-factor, which is the calibrated number of
pulses generated by each gallon of liquid. This K-factor will be
used to recalibrate the monitor, or other electronics, to provide
accurate output data.
