meter
Table 2-1: Operating conditions for the liquid turbine meter
Parameter type Description
Fluid phase Liquid
Fluid(s) measured • Low/medium viscosity crude oils and condensates
• Refined products and intermediates (e.g.: gasoline,
diesel, kerosene, light fuel oils, jet fuel, LPG, butanes,
naphtha, alkylate, reformate, straight run gasoline, cat-
cracked gasoline)
• Petrochemicals (e.g.: benzene, toluene, xylenes, cumene,
olefins, pyrolysis gasoline)
• Natural gas liquids

Fluid static pressure The maximum working pressure for the Daniel Series 1500
Liquid Turbine Meter is based on the temperature/
pressure rating of the ANSI B16.5 flanges. For maximum
working pressures at intermediate temperatures refer to
ANSI B16.5.
Fluid flow rate 100 BPH – 60000 BPH
Pressure drop At maximum flow of normal flow range on water 4 psi.
Ambient temperature -40 ºC to 60 ºC (-40 ºF to 140 ºF) (T
