NUFLO™
Liquid Turbine Flowmeters Accurate Flow Measurement
In 1957, this flowmeter was developed with a tungsten-carbide shaft and bearing to withstand the rugged conditions of the oil field. Over the years, it has earned an unsured reputation for withstanding severe punishment while maintaining operational and measurement integrity. Today, it remains a bestseller among Cameron’s NUFLO liquid measurement products. NUFLO turbine flowmeters indicate flow rate and measure total throughput of a liquid line. As liquid flows through the meter and over the rotor, the rotor turns at a speed that is directly proportional to the flow rate. A magnetic pickup senses the rotor blades as they and generates an electrical (sine wave) signal. These electrical pulses are then transmitted to the flow measurement readout equipment.
Benefits Accurate and repeatable measurement An economical solution for turbine flowmeter applications Easy installation and a variety of end connections Minimum maintenance required Long service life even in severe applications

Applications
Accuracy
Cameron offers turbine flowmeters in a variety of end connections and accuracy levels. Typical applications are: • Water-injection measurement • Heater treaters • Test and production separators • Disposal wells • CO2 injection • Steam generator fuel and feed water • Metering liquid fertilizer • Water, fuel, and chemical measurement in plant settings • Chemical tank loading and unloading • Measuring liquid propane • Insitu mining and leaching
Cameron offers two meter grades to satisfy various linearity requirements. The Standard Grade meter is a cost-effective solution for applications equiring accuracy of 1% or less. For higher accuracy, an Industrial Grade meter can be used. Still greater accuracy may be achieved if the expected flow range is specified. Meter Grade

Flowmeter size selection should be based on the instantaneous flow rate of the line into which the meter will be mounted, and on the meter pressure drop. Meter size should never be based on the nominal piping size of the installation. Refer to the Linear Flow Range chart below and the pressure drop curve on page 7 for meter size selection. The meter will remain accurate at flow rates higher than its rating, but over-ranging a meter for long periods can cause excessive bearing wear and pressure drop and shorten the life span of the meter. NUFLO flowmeters can be over-ranged by 10% for short periods without damage.
Installation • The meter should be installed so that the arrow on the meter body corresponds to the flow direction of the line. • A 10-diameter length of straight unrestricted pipe must be upstream and a 5-diameter length of straight unrestricted pipe must be downstream of the flowmeter. Both pipe sections should be the same nominal pipe size as the flowmeter’s end connection. • Throttling/control valves should be located downstream of the flowmeter. Magnetic Pickup/Electronics Installation
• The meter’s permanent conduit connection has 1-in. MNPT threads for attaching an electronic readout instrument. • The conduit connection is designed for use with a 5/8”-18 threaded magnetic pickup, sold separately by Cameron.
Shaft & Bearings
Silver brazing to withstand temperatures to 550˚F and chemicals that attack epoxy bonding bearing materials. Rotor
Nickel plating for enhanced corrosion resistance to selected chemicals (especially acids that corrode ferrous materials).

Flanged End Connection Turbine flowmeters with flanged end connections are available in both raised-face (RF) models and ring-type t (RTJ) models. Flanged NUFLO meters are constructed with carbon steel or stainless steel slip-on flanges or machined from a single block of stainless steel. Slip-on flanges are welded to the outside of the meter to ensure that the flange never comes into with the process fluid. The flanges are designed to mate with ANSI B16.5 flanges. the factory for availability of materials and construction types for a desired meter size.
