The Daniel Series 1500 Liquid Turbine Meter (LTM) is a volumetric flow metering and
transmitting device used for accurate measurement of crude oil hydrocarbons and other
related process fluids. The design allows high operational flow rates, extended flow ranges
and sustained performance capability. This meter is specifically designed for pipeline
service where a vital characteristic is repeatability.
The turbine meter is designed for use within the guidelines of API Manual of Petroleum
Measurement Standards (MPMS) , Chapter 5.3 and test procedures of API MPMS, Chapter 4
(Prover systems).
The meter consists of two main parts: Local Mounted Enclosure (LME) assembly and the
meter body housing assembly. For certain functions, the meter will have a Remote
Mounted Enclosure (RME), another version of the LME.
The LME is an explosion-proof, weather-resistant housing for dual pickoffs, as well as an
encapsulated preamplifier. It also serves as the mechanical mounting connection
necessary for local and remote accessories.
Note
Daniel offers electronic enclosures with different housing materials and electronic configurations.
