    The document provides guidelines for installing single and dual turbine flow meters. For single turbine meters, a minimum of 20 pipe diameters of straight pipe is required upstream and 5 diameters downstream. For dual turbine meters, 10 diameters are required upstream and 5 diameters downstream. Longer straight pipe runs may be needed if devices cause unusual flow disruption. If straight pipe is insufficient, allow 80% upstream and 20% downstream for single meters or 70% upstream and 30% downstream for dual meters. Performance may degrade with less than the recommended straight pipe.

    STRAIGHT RUN REQUIREMENTS FOR

    INSERTION TURBINE FLOW METERS INCORPORATED

    Series F-1100 Single Turbine Flow Meters


    GENERAL PRACTICES
    1) For best results, install the flow meter in a straight run of pipe,
    FLOW DIRECTION free of bends, tees, valves, transitions, and obstructions, for a dis-
    tance of 20 pipe diameters upstream and 5 diameters downstream.

    2) Longer straight runs may be required in applications where the


    meter is placed downstream from devices which cause unusual
    flow profile disruption or swirl, for example, modulating valves or
    two elbows in close proximity and out of plane, etc.

    3) If there is insufficient straight run, allow 80% of the run upstream


    and 20% of the run downstream. If the total length of straight run
    is less than 20 diameters, performance may seriously degrade,
    and consideration should be given to changing to the series F-1200
    Dual Turbine flow meter.

    FLOW DIRECTION

    Minimum upstream
    straight run distance
    Minimum downstream
    straight run distance 20 pipe diameters from any
    valve, elbow, fitting, etc.
    5 pipe diameters to any
    valve, elbow, fitting, etc.

    Series F-1200 Dual Turbine Flow Meters


    GENERAL PRACTICES
    1) For best results, install the flow meter in a straight run of pipe,
    FLOW DIRECTION free of bends, tees, valves, transitions, and obstructions, for a dis-
    tance of 10 pipe diameters upstream and 5 diameters
    downstream.

    2) Longer straight runs may be required in applications where the


    meter is placed downstream from devices which cause unusual
    flow profile disruption or swirl, for example, modulating valves or
    two elbows in close proximity and out of plane, etc.

    3) If there is insufficient straight run, allow 70% of the run upstream


    and 30% of the run downstream. If the total length of straight run
    is less than 12 diameters, performance may degrade.

    FLOW DIRECTION

    Minimum upstream
    straight run distance
    Minimum downstream
    straight run distance 10 pipe diameters from any
    valve, elbow, fitting, etc.
    5 pipe diameters to any
    valve, elbow, fitting, etc.
