Blancett Turbine Flow Meters (now Badger Meter) are designed to withstand the demands of the most rigorous flow measurement applications, the Model 1100 Explosion-proof flow meter is reliable, rugged and cost effective. Originally developed for the secondary oil recovery market, the Model 1100 Explosion-proof meter is an ideal meter for liquid flow measurement on or off the oil field, for hazardous locations without a magnetic pickup.
The meter features a rugged 316 stainless steel housing and rotor support assemblies, CD4MCU stainless steel rotor, and abrasive-resistant tungsten carbide rotor shaft and journal bearings. The Model 1100 Explosion-proof maintains measurement accuracy and mechanical integrity in the corrosive and abrasive fluids commonly found in oil field water flood projects and many industrial applications.
When paired with a Blancett flow monitor, the Model 1100 Explosion-proof meter meets a wide range of measurement requirements. This makes it ideal for applications such as pipelines, production/injection fields, in-situ mining operations, offshore facilities, and other industrial applications.

Installation
All Badger Meter Model 1100 Explosion-proof turbine meters use stainless steel and tungsten carbide construction materials. Make sure the operating fluid is compatible with these materials. Incompatible fluids can cause deterioration of internal components and cause a reduction in meter accuracy.
The measured liquid should be free of any large particles that may inhibit rotation of the turbine blades. If particles are present, install a mesh strainer upstream before operating the flow meter.
