INTRODUCTION
The QuikSert™ turbine flow meter is designed with wear resis-
tant moving parts to provide trouble free operation and long ser-
vice life. The Quiksert™ Meter Repair Kit is designed for easy
field service of a damaged flow meter, rather than replacing the
entire flow meter (see Appendix C for repair kit information).
Repair parts are constructed of stainless steel alloy and tungsten
carbide.
Fluid moving through the turbine flow meter causes the rotor to
turn at a speed proportional to the flow rate. The rotor blade cuts
the magnetic field of the magnetic pick-up, which in turn gener-
ates a frequency output signal that is directly proportional to the
speed. The signal is used to represent flow rate and/or totaliza-
tion of fluid passing through the turbine flow meter and is always
expressed as the number of electric pulses that the meter produces
per US gallon. This value is constant over each flow meter’s
range and is unique to the meter.
