Frequently asked questions
Common questions about BLANCETT from 3G Electric.
What accuracy can I expect from BLANCETT turbine flowmeters?
BLANCETT turbine flowmeters typically offer an accuracy of ±1% of reading for standard models, such as the B132-100 and B311-085. Irrigation-specific sensors, like the IR735, are rated at ±3%. These accuracy figures apply under specified flow conditions and with proper installation. The output is a standard frequency pulse, which can be processed by external instrumentation for totalization or rate indication.
What connection types are available for BLANCETT flowmeters?
BLANCETT flowmeters are available in several connection types to suit different piping systems. Options include wafer-style connections (e.g., 2-inch wafer), NPT threaded connections (e.g., 6-inch NPT), flanged connections (e.g., 8-inch or 10-inch flange), and tube-style connections for paddlewheel sensors (e.g., 1/2-inch or 3-inch tube). The specific connection type is indicated in the model number and product specifications.
Can BLANCETT flowmeters be used for oil measurement?
Yes, BLANCETT offers stainless steel turbine meters designed for use with oils and water. Models such as the B311-085 (6-inch NPT) and B111-180 (8-inch flange) are constructed with stainless steel rotors and are suitable for hydrocarbon-based fluids. Always verify fluid compatibility with the manufacturer's material specifications, particularly for seals and wetted parts.
Do BLANCETT flowmeters come with a display?
No, BLANCETT turbine flowmeters and paddlewheel sensors are typically supplied without an integral display. They output a standard frequency pulse signal that must be connected to an external display, totalizer, or control system. This design allows for flexible integration into existing monitoring setups or remote data acquisition systems.
What repair kits are available for BLANCETT flowmeters?
BLANCETT provides repair kits for specific turbine flowmeter models. Examples include the B251-112 kit for meter model B111-110, and the B251-105 kit for models B110-500 and B110-500-1/2. These kits contain components necessary for field maintenance, such as rotors, bearings, and seals, helping to restore meter performance without full replacement.
