Introduction
The EZ-IN
®
Series Between-Flange Turbine Flowmeter measures
owstream volume in anged pipelines by transmitting electrical pulses to
readout instruments.
The owmeter’s precision turbine has a rotational velocity proportional
to the linear velocity of the uid owing through the meter. As the turbine
rotates, the blades break magnetic lines of force set up by a magnetic pickup
screwed into the meter body. This penetration of the magnetic eld creates
electrical pulses.
Internal components vary, depending on the size of the end connection.
The hex-body owmeter shown in Figure 1, page 6, is designed with a 1-in.
end connection. The round-body owmeter shown in Figure 2, page 7, is
designed with a 2-in. or larger end connection.
For installation, ANSI raised face or ring joint anges and gaskets are
recommended as well as all-thread studs and nuts. Body centering rings and
ow straighteners can also be used.
