F-1500 Turbine Flow Meter Manual 02/18 - 1018-6 / 35726
Page 16
Example 1: Flange Style Meters:
To install an F-1500 flow meter into a 14 inch schedule 40 pipe, the following measurements
are taken:
F = 12 inches
R = 5 inches
t = 0.438 inches
The example insertion length is 16.89 inches.
Example 2: NPT Style Meters:
The length of thread engagement on the NPT style meters is also subtracted in the equation. The
length of the threaded portion of the NPT meter is 1.18 inches. Measure the thread portion still
showing after the installation and subtract that amount from 1.18 inches. This gives you the
thread engagement length. If this cannot be measured use .55 inch for this amount.
F = 12 inches
R = 5 inches
t = 0.438 inches
The example insertion length is 16.34 inches.
*All dimensions are in inches.
