SERIES 1500 LIQUID TURBINE METER
1.6 Description of the Series 1500 Liquid Turbine
Meter (LTM)
1.6.1 General features of the turbine meter
The Daniel Series 1500 Liquid Turbine Meter (LTM) is a volumetric flow metering and
transmitting device used for accurate measurement of hydrocarbons and other related
process fluids. The design allows high operational flow rates, extended flow ranges and
sustained performance capability.
The turbine meter is designed for use within the guidelines of API Manual of Petroleum
Measurement Standards (MPMS), Chapter 5.3 and test procedures of API MPMS, Chapter 4
(Prover systems).
The meter consists of two main parts: Local Mounted Enclosure (LME) assembly and the
meter body housing assembly. For certain functions, the meter will have a Remote
Mounted Enclosure (RME), another version of the LME.
The LME is an explosion-proof, weather-resistant housing for dual pickoffs, as well as an
encapsulated preamplifier. It also serves as the mechanical mounting connection
necessary for local and remote accessories.
Note
Daniel offers electronic enclosures with different housing materials and electronic
configurations.
Local Mounted Enclosure (LME)
The LME consists of an electrical enclosure and a solid cover made of stainless steel. This
configuration contains a mounting bracket and a preamplifier which works with two
standard pickoff coils mounted into the meter housing.
The electrical enclosure contains an external and an internal grounding lug. The two
enclosure openings are plugged with stainless steel plugs. Refer to Operating conditions
and specifications for more specifications.
LME - High temperature
The LME - High temperature consists of an electrical enclosure and a solid cover both
made of stainless steel. This configuration contains one mounting bracket and two high
temperature terminal blocks which are the connections between the high temperature
pickoff coils and the flex cable.
Important
The customer provides and installs a flex cable.
The flex cable is the connection between the preamplifier that is assembled into a Remote
Mounted Enclosure (RME), not more than 6 meters from the center of the meter housing
to the center of the RME.
The electrical enclosure contains an external and an internal grounding lug. The two
enclosure openings are plugged. Refer to Operating conditions and specifications.

USER MANUAL
Remote Mounted Enclosure (RME)
The RME is an electric transmitting device used primarily in the petroleum industry for
remote installation of liquid turbine meter electronics. The RME is specifically designed for
high temperature applications.
The turbine meter is ideal for applications requiring high frequency resolution.
Applications may include electronic registers, batchers, electronic presets or flow
computers.
1.6.2 Operation overview of the turbine meter
Metering systems combine turbine meters and electronic instrumentation to measure
volumetric total flow and/or flow rate. Metering systems are used to provide
measurement information in fluid transport, petroleum and chemical processing, custody
transfer of liquids, blending systems, in product batching and in field or plant operations.
•Each turbine meter is comprised of a cylindrical housing that contains a precise turbine
rotor assembly. The magnetic pickoffs are mounted in a boss on the turbine meter
body.
•As fluid passes through the turbine meter, it causes the rotor to revolve with an angular
velocity proportional to flow.
•The rotor blades passing through the magnetic field of the pickoff generate a pulsing
voltage in the coil of the pickoff assembly. Each voltage pulse represents a discrete
volume. The total number of pulses collected over a period of time represents the total
volume metered.
•The sinusoidal signal from each pickoff has a low amplitude and is not normally relied
upon for transmission distances over 6 meters (20 feet). The signal must, therefore, be
amplified. This is achieved with a preamplifier contained within the LME that is
mounted on the turbine meter.
•These pulse signals are typically transmitted to control room instrumentation, such as
flow computers, and may also be required to transmit to prover computers which
calculate, display, transmit, control or record the flow sensed by the rotor. The results
may be displayed as pulse-counts or standard engineering units, such as gallons, liters,
barrels, etc.
•All Daniel Series 1500 Liquid Turbine Meters have, as standard, the LME which is fitted
with two pickoffs and a dual channel preamplifier.
•The pickoff mountings are oriented so that the outputs from the pickups are 90º
electrically out of phase. The turbine meter may be supplied with two LMEs, offering up
to four pulse outputs. Alternate pairs across the two LMEs are also 90º electrically out of
phase.
•Each turbine meter is precisely flow calibrated before shipment.
