Product catalog summary
Description
The Badger Meter Industrial Turbine is a robust and reliable meter designed for chemical and industrial fluid applications. It is compact, easy to service without removal from the line, and available in various materials, making it cost-effective. It offers high accuracy over a wide flow range with minimal pressure loss. Available in sizes 2" to 6", it features a straight-through flow profile and ceramic bearing design for optimized performance. Accessories include mechanical, electromechanical, and electronic transmitters, totalizers, indicators, and process controllers.

Operation
This volumetric liquid flow meter operates on the principle of a rotor turning at an angular velocity proportional to fluid velocity. It includes straightening vanes and a nose cone to minimize turbulence and direct flow effectively. Electronic pickups generate signals from the rotor magnet, which are translated to 4…20 mA and/or open collector-transistor pulse outputs. Mechanical pickups and electromechanical outputs are also available.

Applications
The Turbine meter is suitable for a wide range of fluid applications, including water, oils, solvents, and acids. It is used in water treatment systems, loading and unloading of tankers or rail cars, batching systems, and inventory control of process fluids, especially where high volume and/or high flow rates are required.

Industrial Turbo Meter - Size 2" through 6"-1

Industrial Turbo Meters Sizes 2" through 6" DESCRIPTION The Badger Meter Industrial Turbine is a rugged, reliable meter ideally suited for chemical or industrial fluid applications. Its compact size and ease of serviceability without removal from the line, coupled with a choice of materials, make this a cost-effective selection. Designed with performance in mind, the meter provides a high level of accuracy over a wide flow range with a minimum of pressure loss. The Badger Meter Turbine is available in line sizes of 2", 3", 4" and 6" with a choice of flange ratings and three different body materials, including stainless steel. Its unique straight-through flow profile and ceramic bearing design optimize performance. To complement the meter, Badger Meter offers a complete line of accessories that includes mechanical, electromechanical and state-of-the-art electronic transmitters, totalizers, indicators and process controllers. OPERATION The Badger Meter Industrial Turbine is a volumetric liquid flow meter that works on the time proven principle of a rotor turning at an angular velocity proportional to the fluid velocity through the turbine. The meter has straightening vanes and a nose cone in the inlet side to minimize upstream turbulence and direct the flow to the rotor effectively. Electronic pickups generate signals from the rotor magnet. The signal is translated to 4…20 mA and/ or open collector-transistor pulse outputs. Mechanical pickups and electromechanical outputs are also available.

APPLICATIONS The Turbine meter is used in a wide range of fluid applications covering from water to oils, solvents to acids. The meter is used in water treatment systems, loading and unloading of tankers or rail cars, batching systems, or simply inventory control of a process fluid. Anywhere high volume and/or high flow rates are sometimes required in the application, the Turbo meter is likely the right choice. Technical Brief
