Introduction
The INVALCO Turbine Flowmeter is a device used to measure the volumetric flow of a fluid. The flowmeter consists of
the body, a multiblade rotor (usually 6 to 10 blades depending on size), bearings and supports for the rotor. As a fluid
passes through the flowmeter the rotor spins. The speed of the rotor is directly proportional to the fluid velocity or flow
rate.
As the rotor spins, the balde tips pass through a magnetic field generated by permanent magnets in a pickup coil
mounted in close proximity to the rotor but separated from it and the process fluid by the wall of the flowmeter body.
Each time a blade passes the magnet, it generates a small alternating current in the pickup coil. (See Figure 7) The
pickup coil is attached to the pickup by two terminals or wires.
Each rotor blade passing through the magnetic pickup flux lines produce one alternating current cycle. Depending on
the flowmeter size, a certain number of pulses are produced for each volumetric unit of liquid passing through the turbine
flowmeter. This is known as the K-Factor of the turbine flowmeter. The variation of this factor over the specified flow
range is the Linearity or accuracy of the flowmeter.
Mechanical Installation
Turbine Flowmeters are affected by upstream and downstream piping configurations. Upstream piping has a
pronounced effect on flowmeter performance making it necessary to have ten (10) straight pipe diameters upstream of the turbine flowmeter and five (5) pipe diameters downstream of the turbine flowmeter. Flowmeters
should be installed with the arrow marked on the body pointing in the direction of flow.
Figure 1
Control valves should always be located downstream from the flowmeter. If a line is empty and a valve is opened, the
high velocity fluid stricking the flowmeter can cause severe damage. Air eliminators should be used in cases where
gases are flowing in the process stream. Air in the liquid will cause the flowmeter rotor to spin at a different rate than the
liquid giving incorrect readings.
Spools should be installed in the flowmeter position during start up to prevent damage to the flowmeter from solids
(welding slag, rust, scale, etc.) in the process liquid.
Note: Meter should be installed with ten diameters of straight pipe the same size as turbine meter bore
up and 5 straight pipe diameters downstream of meter.
Note: If valve is to be used, it must be downstream from the meter. This is necessary not only to keep the line
full for accuracy in batching applications, but to prevent damage caused by striking an empty meter with a
high velocity stream.
Note: Sleeved bearings used in INVALCO flowmeters are lubricated with the process fluid. Never spin
the flowmeter at high speeds with air. Always confirm that the flow line contains fluid at start up.
The life of the flowmeter can be extended by using a mesh filter in the flow line. Table I shows the recommended filter for
various sizes of flowmeters.

Magnetic Pickups
Flow in the turbine flowmeter is sensed by a non-wetted sensor called a variable reluctance magnetic pickup. The
magnetic pickup is an assembly consisting of a permanent magnet and a coil bobbin on which several hundred turns of
wire are wound (Figure 6). This combination produces a magnetic field at the top of the pickup. The pickup is placed in
close proximity to the rotor blades, but is separated from it and the process fluid by the wall of the flowmeter housing. As
the rotor turns, the blades disrupt the magnetic field of the pikcup and generate a sine wave voltage signal across the
terminals of the magnetic pickup coil. Each time a rotor blade passes through the magnetic field, one alternating current
(AC) cycle is generated (Figure 7). The number of pulses produced by a turbine flowmeter per gallon of water is known
as the K-Factor.

Air purging must be done with care not to create severe shock loading to the meter, and velocity through the
meter must not exceed the instantaneous published flow ranges of the meter.
Radii at ends of meters and the thrust bearing pockets (see figure 14) must be periodically checked for
cleanliness and adjustments in cleaning may be required to clean these areas. If areas do not clean in place
the meter may need to be disassembled from the line and cleaned by hand or other method to insure proper
cleanliness is being achieved. If the meter is disassembled for cleaning or inspection, care must be
taken not to lose the thrust bearings located at either end of the shaft. All replacement internals utilize a
sanitary paste to ensure that the bearings remain in place during assembly.

the keypad, and pressing the k-factor button again will
return to the Totalizing display.
Software Version is viewable by pressing the + button on the keypad
Program Steps
1. Hold the Program button for 5 seconds. This will
put the 4200 into programming mode.
2. The first time that the 4200 is setup, the program
will take you directly to the K-factor entry screen. The
4200 will now prompt for using a single K-factor or to
linearize using multiple K-factors. Selecting oFF will
use a single K-factor (go to Step 3). Selecting on will
allow the input of multiple K-factors (go to Step 4).
Button operation:
Program = progress to next screen regardless of
where cursor is positioned
Enter/Next = move cursor left one position
K-factor = move cursor right one position
+ = increments number where cursor is positioned
- = decrements number where cursor is positioned
Reset = replaces numbers with default and returns
the cursor to the right most position
3. Input the appropriate K-factor. Insertion of the
decimal position is the last step required to
input a new k-factor. After the last numerical
position is entered, the + and - buttons will
move the decimal position through the 3 positions. After placing the decimal in the correct
position, the Enter/Next button will progress
the screen. If linearization is required proceed
to Step 4. If linearization is not required proceed to Step 7.
Button operation:
Program = progress to next screen regardless of
where cursor is positioned
Enter/Next = move cursor left one position
K-factor = move cursor right one position
+ = increments number where cursor is positioned
- = decrements number where cursor is positioned
Reset = replaces numbers with default and returns
the cursor to the right most position
4. Input the 1st pulse rate (Hz) starting with the lowest.
Button operation:
Program = progress to next screen regardless of
where cursor is positioned
Enter/Next = move cursor left one position
K-factor = move cursor right one position
+ = increments number where cursor is positioned
- = decrements number where cursor is positioned
Reset = replaces numbers with default and returns the
cursor to the right most position
5. Input the 1st k-factor matching the 1st pulse rate
entered in the previous step. Insertion of the decimal position is the last step required to input a
new k-factor. The decimal position is limited to 3
positions. After the last numerical position is
entered, the + and - buttons will move the
decimal position through the 3 positions. After
placing the decimal in the correct position, the
Enter/Next button will progress the screen.
Button operation:
Program = progress to next screen regardless of where
cursor is positioned
Enter/Next = move cursor left one position
K-factor = move cursor right one position
