SMITH METER TURBINE METERS

The Smith Meter Guardsman Series Turbine Meter
is a bladed, rotor-type meter which utilizes an upstream,
cantilevered stator to support the tungsten carbide,
bearing-mounted rotor. It is intended for a wide range
of petroleum, petrochemical, and chemical custody
transfer measurement applications, such as small
product pipelines ranging from Natural Gas Liquids
(NGL) to light fuel oils.
FEATURES
Stainless Steel measuring chamber and internals

Locking stator prevents wear and improves
performance
Tungsten carbide bearings system provides
long life on low lubricating fluids
Hydrodynamic thrust balance to minimize
friction and wear on thrust bearings which
allows for long service life and high accuracy
125-250 AARH flange face finish
3" Model Code K2BDA
OPERATING SPECIFICATIONS
FLOW RANGE1
OPTIONS
Bidirectional flow allows the meter to accurately

register flow in either direction.
Multiple pickup coils are used when direction sensing
or pulse security is required.
NACE compliance may be necessary when dealing
with liquids containing hydrogen sulfide. The meter
has housing materials which are certified to be in
compliance with the material requirements set forth
in NACE Standard MR-01-75 latest revision.
Premium 0.15% and Super Premium Linearity 0.10%.
AccuLERT ID-2000 Smart Preamplifier for real-time
diagnostics of meter performance.
1 Based on 0.8 sp. gr., 1.5 mPas (1.5 cP) liquid.

2 Metric units are nominal and may not convert precisely.
3 a. For bidirectional flow, the linearity in the reverse
direction is 0.25% and the minimum linear flow rate
is 20% of the normal maximum linear.
b. From Normal Minimum to Extended Maximum,
the linearity is normally not degenerated.
c. Extended Minimum is the flow rate at which the meter
can provide a reliable signal, but accuracy (linearity
and repeatability) may be diminished.

INSTALLATION
The meter must be mounted in a horizontal attitude (5)
within a suitable flow conditioning assembly and is recommended that the meter be installed downstream of a
strainer for protection and upstream of the flow control
valve in the system.
Refer to the installation manual MN02002 for full instructions.
APPLICATIONS
High Viscosity
The flow range of turbine meters is reduced considerably
when metering viscous liquids. The minimum flow rate
must be increased as the viscosity increases. The following relationships can be used to approximate the increase
(reduction in range) that will maintain the stated linearity.
Viscous Min.
=
Normal Min. x Viscosity (cP)
Rate
Rate
Meter Size (in)

Note: Caution should be used when dealing with liquids that
result in a viscous minimum rate greater than two times the
normal, since variations in operating temperature can result in
substantial meter factor shifts.
Low Density
When metering light hydrocarbons such as LPG or other
liquids with specific gravity less than 0.8, the minimum
flow range should be shifted upward. The amount of shift
can be approximated by multiplying the normal minimum
flow rate by the following factor:
PICKUP COIL SPECIFICATIONS

Type: Variable reluctance.
Le
Re
Vo
Rate Increasing Factor
0.9
S
Where: S = The specific gravity of the liquid being metered.
Minimum Back Pressure
In order to prevent cavitation, API M.P.M.S. Chapter 5
recommends a minimum back pressure according to the
following:
BP = (2 x P) + 1.25 Vp
Electrical Characteristics
Effective Series Resistance (Re ): 1,200 (10%).
Effective Series Inductance (Le ): 400 mH @ 1,000 Hz.
Minimum Open Circuit Voltage (Vo): 300 millivolts p/p at
minimum flow rate.
Maximum Transmission Distance: 2,000 ft (610 m) using
#20 AWG two-conductor, shielded cable.
Notes: A preamplifier is recommended for remote instrumentation that does not have Common Mode Noise Rejection. See
Bulletin SS02012 for PA-6 Preamplifier Specifications.
Where: BP = Minimum back pressure

P = Pressure drop at maximum flow rate
VP = Absolute vapor pressure at operating
temperature
Example:
3" Guardsman at 1,000 BPH - P = 4 psi.
Absolute vapor pressure of butane at operating
temperature - Vp = 50 psia.
BP = (2 x 4) + 1.25 (50)

= 70.5 psig
