Turbine Meters

Turbine meters are main line meters for measuring high rates of flow. The measuring element is a replaceable drop in that is easy to service or replace. RG3 turbine meters meet or exceed AWWA C701 standards.

RG3 turbine meters come with direct read or encoder register options.

Turbine Meters are for use in measurement of potable cold water in residential, commercial and industrial services where flow is in one direction only.  All cold Turbine water meters conform to the AWWA C701 Cold Water Meters - Turbine Type, for Customer Service standard, latest revision, or as otherwise stated.  The Turbine Meter (TM) main casing is epoxy coated cast iron. Turbine Meters meet the changes to the Safe Drinking Water Act. The serial number is permanently marked on the drop-in along with the size, direction of flow and manufacturer (RG3).  The measuring element consists of the measuring element insert, rotator, inlet straightening vanes and the calibration assembly. All of the spindles are stainless steel.  A test plug is incorporated to allow for field accuracy and pressure testing.  Turbine Meter construction consists of four basic components: main case, measuring element, register housing and permanently sealed register. The measuring element consists of a rotor, straightening vanes, accuracy regulator, spindles, gears and a drive coupling assembly. Rotor rotation is transmitted through magnetic coupling to the register gearing. All bolts are made of stainless steel to prevent corrosion. The register housing is cast bronze for durability.  The Turbine Meter is designed to provide long-term service with minimal maintenance. When maintenance is required, the meter can remain in place and the measuring element with integral straightening vanes can be removed, repaired or replaced. Pre-tested and calibrated measuring elements are available for purchase and exchange.
