Introduction
The EZ-IN
®
Series BF (between-flange) Turbine Flowmeter measures
flowstream volume in flanged pipelines by transmitting electrical pulses
to readout instruments.
The flowmeter’s precision turbine has a speed directly proportional to the
liquid velocity flowing through the meter. As the turbine rotates, the
blades break magnetic lines of force set up by a pickup screwed into the
meter body. This penetration of the magnetic field creates electrical
pulses. The flowmeter consists of the meter body, two bearing supports, a
rotor, and the magnetic pickup (Fig. 1, Page 2).
For installation, ANSI RF flanges and gaskets are recommended as well
as all-thread studs, bolts, nuts and washers. Body centering rings and
flow straighteners can also be used. An installation handle (Fig. 2, Page
3) is available to allow easier installation and removal (Part No.
100079570). An optional

also available (Part No. 100013146).
