quickly�

MPORTANTI

Read this manual carefully before attempting any installation or operation. Keep the manual

accessible for future reference.

UNPACKING AND INSPECTION

Upon opening the shipping container, visually inspect the product and applicable

accessories for any physical damage such as scratches, loose or broken parts, or any other

sign of damage that may have occurred during shipment�

INTRODUCTION

The QuikSert Standard turbine flow meter was developed for liquid applications where

accuracy and dependability are of concern to the operator� The stainless steel body

incorporates a helical turbine with tungsten carbide shaft and bearings� 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 and

providing easy, one-person 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

will interface with most instruments, PLCs and computers�

Operating Principle

Page 4 April 2016TRB-UM-00372-EN-03

OPERATING PRINCIPLE

Fluid entering the meter passes through the inlet flow straightener which reduces its

turbulent flow pattern and improves the fluid’s velocity profile� Fluid then passes through

the turbine, causing it to rotate at a speed proportional to the fluid velocity� As each

turbine blade passes through the magnetic field, the blade generates an AC voltage pulse

in the pickup coil at the base of the magnetic pickup (see Figure 1)� These pulses produce

an output frequency proportional to the volumetric flow through the meter� The output

frequency represents flow rate and/or totalization of fluid passing through the turbine flow

meter�

Figure 1: Electric signal generated by rotor movement

INSTALLATION

1� Check the ow meter internally for foreign material and make sure the turbine rotor

spins freely prior to installation�

2� Check uid lines and clear any debris�

3� Install the ow meter with the ow arrow, etched on the exterior of the meter body,

pointing in the direction of uid ow�

4� Install the meter horizontally with the pickup facing upward, where possible� The liquid

being measured should be free of any large particles that may obstruct rotation of the

rotor�

5� Install a mesh strainer upstream before operation of the ow meterm if particles are

present� See the table below for strainer recommendations�

6� Install a bypass line (Figure 2) for meter inspection and repair without interrupting ow�

Install all control valves downstream of the ow meter, if a bypass line cannot be used

(Figure 3)�

PRESSURE IN EXCESS OF ALLOWABLE RATING MAY CAUSE THE HOUSING TO BURST

AND CAUSE SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY.

DAMAGE CAN BE CAUSED BY STRIKING AN EMPTY METER WITH A HIGH VELOCITY

FLOW STREAM.

Installation

Page 5April 2016 TRB-UM-00372-EN-03

Figure 2: Meter installation using a bypass line

Figure 3: Meter installation without using a bypass line

7� Install all restrictions in the ow line that may cause the liquid to ash, downstream of

the meter� If necessary, install air eliminators so the meter is not incorrectly measuring

entrained air or gas�

8� Install a minimum length of ten pipe diameters of straight pipe on upstream side of the

meter and ve diameters on the downstream side of the ow meter or meter accuracy

may be aected� Piping should be the same size as the meter bore or threaded port size�

Do not install the flow meter or connection cable close to electric motors, transformers,

sparking devices, high voltage lines, or place connecting cable in conduit with wires

furnishing power for such devices� These devices can induce false signals in the flow meter

coil or cable, causing the meter to read inaccurately�

Consult the "Troubleshooting Guide" on page 7 � If the internal components of the

turbine flow meter are damaged beyond repair, order a turbine meter repair kits�

Information pertaining to the turbine meter repair kits is referenced in "Repair Kit

Information" on page 9�

Operational Startup

Page 6 April 2016TRB-UM-00372-EN-03

OPERATIONAL STARTUP

Follow these steps when installing and starting the meter�

MAKE SURE THAT FLUID FLOW HAS BEEN SHUT OFF AND PRESSURE IN THE LINE

RELEASED BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO INSTALL THE METER IN AN EXISTING SYSTEM.

1� Close the isolation valves and open the bypass valve after installing the meter�

2� Flow liquid through the bypass valve for sucient time to eliminate any air or gas in the

ow line�

HIGH VELOCITY AIR OR GAS MAY DAMAGE THE INTERNAL COMPONENTS OF THE

METER.

3� Open the upstream isolating valve slowly to eliminate hydraulic shock while charging

the meter with the liquid�

4� Open the valve to full open�

5� Open the downstream isolating valve to permit meter to operate�

6� Close the bypass valve to a full closed position�

7� Adjust the downstream valve to provide the required ow rate through the meter�

OTE:NThe downstream valve may be used as a control valve�

CALIBRATION

The meter and all attached electronics are calibrated on water at the factory and tagged

with a K-factor (pulses per US Gallon)� For maximum accuracy, calibrate the meter with the

actual fluid being measured� The QuikSert meter can be recalibrated by any conventional

meter-proving processes used to calibrate standard meters�

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE

Trouble Possible Cause Remedy

Meter indicates higher than actual

flow rate

• Cavitation

• Debris on

rotor support

• Build up of foreign

material on

meter bore

• Gas in liquid

• Increase back pressure

• Clean meter

• Install gas eliminator

ahead of meter

Meter indicates lower than actual

flow rate

• Debris on rotor

• Worn bearing

• Viscosity higher than

calibrated

• Clean meter and add filter

• Recalibrate monitor

Erratic system indication, meter

alone works well (remote monitor

application only)

Ground loop in shielding

Ground shield one place only,

look for internal electronic

instrument ground� Reroute

cables away from electrical

noise

Indicator shows flow when shut off

Mechanical vibration

causes rotor to oscillate

without turning

Isolate meter

No flow indication

Full or partial open position

Fluid shock, full flow into

dry meter or impact caused

bearing separation or

broken rotor shaft

Rebuild meter with repair kit

and recalibrate monitor� Move

to location where meter is full

on startup or add downstream

flow control valve

Erratic indication at low flow, good

indication at high flow

Rotor has foreign material

wrapped around it Clean meter and add filter

No flow indication Faulty pickup Replace pickup

System works perfect, except

indicates lower flow over entire range Bypass flow, leak Repair or replace bypass valves,

or faulty solenoid valves

Meter indicating high flow, upstream

piping at meter smaller than meter

bore

Fluid jet impingement on

rotor Change piping

Opposite effects of above Viscosity lower than

calibrated

Change temperature, change

fluid or recalibrate meter
