Recommended Strainer Size by Meter
Protection of turbine meter (and associated instrumentation) can be critical during new
installations start-up and when a system is restarted after heavy work upstream of the meter run.
To minimize the risk of solid particle injection upstream from the measurement point, we
recommend installation of a strainer with mesh sizes as listed in the table below:

IMPORTANT
: After a period of critical monitoring, the filtration degree can be relaxed to reduce
strainer maintenance and pressure losses, e.g. MESH 6 to MESH 4 on a 12” meter (consult
manufacturer).

ATEX Non electrical certification Data Table and Tag Example
The mechanical part is a non-electrical part as defined under the certificate LCIE 05 ATEX
6035X. This equipment is manufactured with a protective system as defined by European standards
NF EN 13463-1 and 13463-5 and is certified
II 2 G c T6 to T1 within fluid temperatures between -
50 and +350 °C (Table 1).
Table 1.
ATEX mark
II
Group
Equipment for places with a potentially explosive atmosphere, other
than mines susceptible to firedamp.
2
Category
Equipment designed to be capable of functioning in conformity with
the operational parameters established by the manufacturer and
ensuring a high level of protection.
Equipment in this category is intended for use in areas in which
explosive atmospheres caused by mixtures of air and gases, vapors or
mists or by air/dusts mixtures are likely to occur.
The means of protection relating to equipment in this category
ensures the requisite level of protection, even in the event of
frequently occurring disturbances or equipment faults which are
normally taken into account.
G
Gas/Dust
Gas
c
Type of protection
Protection by constructional safety “safe by design”.
