The Blancett 1100 turbine flow meter is designed to meet the demands of the most rigorous flow measurement applications. Originally developed for the secondary oil recovery market, the Blancett 1100 turbine flow meter is the ideal choice of turbine flow meters for liquid flow measurement on or off the oilfield.","The Blancett 1100 turbine flow meter features a 316 stainless steel housing and rotor support to provide a long service life in severe operating environments. The Blancett 1100 turbine flow meter features a CD4MCU stainless steel rotor and abrasion-resistant tungsten carbide rotor shaft and journal bearings, which help maintain accuracy and mechanical integrity when measuring the corrosive and abrasive fluids found in many industries.","The Blancett 1100 turbine flow meter meets a wide range of measurement requirements, making them ideal for applications such as pipelines, production\/injection fields, in-situ mining operations, offshore facilities, and other industrial applications.","Blancett 1100 turbine flow meters offer accurate and repeatable flow measurement in ranges from 0.6 to 5,000 GPM (20 to 171,000 BPD) on piping systems from 1\/2\" to 10\". The Blancett 1100 turbine flow meter is capable of electronic integration providing displayed flow rate, totalization, current or voltage outputs.","The Blancett 1100 turbine flow meter is also available as an explosion-proof model for use in hazardous locations. The following components must be ordered separately (as accessories) to complete the explosion-proof flow meter package: standard magnetic pick-up (part number B111109, -150 to +330°), B2800 explosion-proof meter mounted monitor, explosion-proof meter mount kit. Please contact us if you have any questions or if you wish to purchase an exposion-proof model with flange connections.","Operating Principle of the Blancett 1100 Turbine Flow Meters","Fluid entering the meter first passes through an inlet flow straightener that reduces its turbulent flow pattern. Fluid then passes through the turbine, causing the turbine to rotate at a speed proportional to fluid velocity. As each turbine blade passes through the magnetic field generated by the meter's magnetic pick-up, an AC voltage pulse is generated. These pulses provide an output frequency that is proportional to volumetric flow.
