Product Specifications Thermo Scientific insertion turbine flowmeters have provided highly accurate and repeatable flow measurements for large pipeline applications for over 35 years. The products are designed for easy installation using the “hot tap” method, which allows the end user to install and retract the device through an isolating valve without interrupting the process. The insertion turbine offers a dependable and economical flow metering solution with accuracy superior to that of differential pressure devices. Model 5100 Model 5400 Insertion Turbine Flowmeters for Liquid and Gas As the demand for water, oil and gas increases internationally, a complex network of pipelines has been developed to transport liquids and gases 24/7 over thousands of miles to waiting consumers in every corner of the globe. Most pipeline operators have a fiscal and environmental obligation to monitor the flow of product during the transportation process. Thermo Fisher Scientific offers a choice of technologies for pipeline and industrial measurement to suit most customers’ requirements, including ultrasonic meters and insertion turbine meters for larger pipes, and inline turbine meters for smaller sizes and custody transfer applications. Many operators have difficulty finding appropriate metering equipment for remote locations where there is no power supply. Thermo Scientific insertion turbine flowmeters are ideal for measuring in remote locations since the technology generates a pulse output without the need for an independent power supply. This allows the product to be used in conjunction with a battery powered totalizer or data logger. Thermo Scientific insertion devices have been widely used for monitoring oil, gas and potable water distribution for many years, and have been marketed under several well known brand names in the past including EFM, AOT, and Flow Automation. The Thermo Scientific insertion meter provides outstanding performance at a competitive price. The insertion turbine meter consists of a rotating impeller assembly mounted on the end of a stainless steel insertion stem. The impeller assembly is then installed into a pipe through an isolating valve and held in place by a seal housing. The impeller acts much like a windmill in that the rotational speed is directly proportional to the flow Industries • Potable water distribution • Oil and gas pipeline • Water treatment • General process • Petrochemical Features • One size fits all pipes over 4-in diameter • Individually calibrated turbine heads • High levels of accuracy and repeatability • Negligible pressure drop • Field repairable • Cost effective, proven technology • Can be extracted for “pigging”
