For your safety, review the major warn-
ings and cautions below before operat-
ing your equipment. 

 

The  apparatus  enclosure  may  con-
tain aluminum and is considered to 
constitute a potential risk of ignition 
by  impact  or  friction.  Care  must  be 
taken  into  account  during  installa-
tion  and  use  to  prevent  impact  or 
friction.  

 

 

Part of the enclosure is constructed 
from  plastic.  To  prevent  the  risk  of 
electrostatic  sparking  the  plastic 
surface should only be cleaned with 
a damp cloth. 

1.  Use 

only fluids 

that are compatible 

with the housing material and wet-
ted components of your turbine. 

2.  When  measuring  flammable  liq-

uids,  observe  precautions  against 
fire or explosion. 

3.  When  handling  hazardous  liquids, 

always  follow  the  liquid  manufac-
turer’s safety precautions. 

4.  When  working  in  hazardous  envi-

ronments,  always  exercise  appro-
priate safety precautions. 

5.  Always  dispose  of  used  cleaning 

solvents  in  a  safe  manner  accord-
ing to the solvent manufacturer’s in-
structions. 

6.  During  turbine  removal,  liquid  may 

spill.  Follow  the  liquid  manufac-
turer’s 

safety 

precautions 

for 

cleanup of minor spills. 

7.  Do  not  blow  compressed  air 

through the turbine. 

8.  Do not allow liquids to dry inside the 

turbine. 

9.  Handle  the  rotor  carefully.  Even 

small scratches or nicks can affect 
accuracy. 

10.  When tightening the turbine, use a 

wrench only on the wrench flats. 

11. 

For best results, always verify ac-
curacy before use.

 

Product Description 

FLOMEC®  Industrial  Meter  Turbines 
are identified by the internal diameter of 
the inlet and outlet.  

Model 05 – 1/2 inch  
Model 07 – 3/4 inch  
Model 10 – 1 inch  
Model 15 – 1

-

1/2 inch  

Model 20 – 2 inch 

Each  turbine  is  designed  to  work  with 
onboard  computer  electronics  and/or 
with  one  of  several  accessory  output 
modules. 

Liquid  flows  through the  turbine  hous-
ing causing an internal rotor to spin. As 
the  rotor  spins,  an  electrical  signal  is 
generated in the pickup coil. This signal 
is converted into engineering units (gal-
lons,  litres,  etc.)  on  the  local  display. 
Accessory modules can be used to ex-
port the signal to other equipment. 

Upon  receipt,  examine  your  meter  for 
visible damage. The turbine is a preci-
sion measuring instrument and should 
be handled as such. Remove the pro-
tective  plugs  and  caps  for  a  thorough 
inspection. If any items are damaged or 
missing, contact your distributor. 

Make  sure  the  turbine  model  meets 
your specific needs. Refer to the Spec-
ifications  Section  and  confirm  the  fol-
lowing: 

1.  The  flowrate  is  within  the  limits  of 

your model. 

2.  The liquid is compatible with the tur-

bine’s wetted components. 

3.  The system’s pressure does not ex-

ceed  the  turbine’s  maximum  pres-
sure rating.
