Metri IC-BF Flangeless Flow Meter

Between flange Wafer type turbine meters have been used successfully for many years, with little or no improvements in all that time. iCenta Controls have identified key areas of weaknesses in standard designs and implemented a range of highly beneficial upgrades.

Instead of casting, which can produce rotor imbalance, weakness, and discrepancies between batches, iCenta IC-BF Turbine Meters are completely machined from a range of solid materials. This means we can control the minute (but significant) dimensional variations which can occur with cast parts, and which drive calibration.

Accuracy / uncertainty / linearity variations. We further ensure that every rotor is identical and will produce exceptional calibration repeatability.

Machined parts have better symmetry, which reduces rotor wobble, extending the bearing life and reducing early failures. By examining each rotor’s response to liquid flow, we have in most cases, extended the flow range, reduced rotational speed and pressure drop. Reduction in RPM also improves longevity and should significantly reduce calibration frequency. Upgraded material selection also enhances the meters’ corrosion resistance.
