Between Flanges- The Quick Insertion Turbine
Over the last 25 years Blancett have built up a reputation
for producing rugged and accurate stainless steel turbines which remain popular
within the oil and gas industry today. The QuikSert is one of Blancett’s innovative turbines which has been designed for quick installation.
The QuikSert is an in-line turbine flow meter that
provides the same high accuracy and rigorous design of the standard Blancett
turbine, but in a wafer-style mounting configuration. It’s unique between flanges design eliminates the need for mating flanges, requires less space in the flow line, lowers costs and provides easy, one-man
installation.
Turbine flow meters operate by the fluid or gas passing
through a turbine, causing the turbine to rotate at a speed proportional to
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.
The QuikSert in-line turbine flow meter was developed for
liquid and gas applications where accuracy and dependability are of concern to
the operator. For fluids the meter achieves an accuracy of ±1%, repeatability of ±0.1% and can handle temperatures up to +232°C
with high temp pick up and for gas the meter achieves an accuracy of ±2%, repeatability of ±0.5% and can handle
temperatures up to +330°C.
The meter features a 316 stainless steel housing and rotor support,
CD4MCU stainless steel rotor, and abrasion-resistant tungsten carbide rotor
shaft and bearings. For fluid models, precision upstream and downstream flow
straighteners ensure a high degree of measurement accuracy. The QuikSert
turbine is available in sizes 3/8” to 10” and with optional outputs for remote
data logging.
Blancetts QuikSert
turbine provides a quick, efficient and cost-effective solution for measurement
requirements for flow lines with limited space. QuikSert is available from Bell
