The deployment of this high resolution rotor in each of the sizes available gives a nominal K-factor twice that of
the standard meter and allows for proving with a smaller size prover.
The rimmed design is available as an option on 3”-6” turbines, and is standard on 8” and larger.
Whatever the design of meter and rotor conguration, the blades are locked and welded into the desired angular
position, forming a solid, one piece rotor.
In the Daniel Series 1500 Liquid Turbine Flow Meter both up and downstream shaft supports are deployed. The
expanding hanger principle is used to ensure positive self-centering of the internals. The shape of the internal
cones results in a reverse differential pressure that counterbalances the downstream thrust on the rotor, thus
allowing the rotor to oat on a uid cushion. This oating action ensures long life and minimal maintenance. (See
Figure 10)
