INSTALLING FLOW METER
Section 1 - Introduction
A. General Description
The FTB600B Series is an axial paddle wheel turbine type flow meter
based on the pelton wheel principle. This unique patented design
makes the FTB600B Series a very accurate, repeatable, linear device.
Not only is the FTB600B Series precise, but it is also a rugged, trouble-
free flow meter, which can be used in a wide variety of industries
including: medical, pharmaceutical, chemical processing, pulp & paper,
semiconductor, biotech, agriculture etc.
B. Principle of Operation
Fluid flows through the meter, first passing through a helical nozzle,
which causes flow to spiral, rotating in a helical pattern. The spiraling
fluid then impacts on the flat blade rotor causing the rotor to spin. The
rotor is designed to immediately develop a rotation-induced friction
free fluid bearing, thus eliminating any potential bearing wear. An
infrared electro-optical transmitter and receiver is molded into the
body of the meter along with a pair of miniature circuit boards,
providing voltage stabilizers.* This design inherently bleeds off
entrained gas, improving the accuracy of the meter.
* Clear, transparent & translucent fluids; must transmit infrared light.
