Blancett Quiksert In-line Turbine Flow Meters (now Badger Meter) were developed for liquid applications where accuracy and dependability are needed. QuikSert’s stainless steel body incorporates a helical turbine with tungsten carbide shaft and bearing. It provides an efficient, long service life and a cost-effective solution for your measurement requirements.
Simple in design and construction, Quiksert uses modified upstream and downstream flow straighteners for a high degree of flow accuracy. Its between-the-flange design eliminates the need for mating flanges, requiring less space in the flow line, lowering costs for easy, one-man installation.
The meter produces a sine-wave signal proportional to its volumetric flow rate. With optional Blancett electronics, Quiksert provides local flow rate and volume totalization and interfaces with most instruments, PLCs and computers.
Features
- Accurate and repeatable flow measurement from 0.6-3 GPM (20-100 bpd) to 500-5000 GPM (17,000-171,000 bpd)
- Unique between-the-flange design eliminates need for mating flanges
- Superior materials of construction for high performance in aggressive environments
- Wafer-style mounting configurations for limited space requirements
- Modified flow straighteners for enhanced fluid dynamics
Installation
The Quiksert turbine meter is simple to install and service. The meter should be installed with the flow direction arrow aligned with the direction of the line flow. For optimum performance, the flow meter should be installed with a minimum of 10 diameters upstream straight pipe length and 5 diameters downstream straight pipe length.
