The FTB-1400 turbine flow meter is designed to meet the demands of the most rigorous
flow measurement applications. Originally developed for the secondary oil recovery market, the FTB-1400
is an ideal meter for liquid flow measurement on or off the oilfield. The meter features a 316 stainless
steel housing and rotor support, CD4MCU stainless steel rotor, and abrasion-resistant tungsten carbide
rotor shaft and journal bearings. These materials help the meter to maintain accuracy and mechanical
integrity when measuring the corrosive and abrasive fluids found in many industries.
Fluid entering the meter first passes through an inlet flow straightener that reduces its turbulent flow
pattern. Fluid then passes through the turbine, causing the turbine to rotate at a speed proportional to
fluid velocity. As each turbine blade passes through the magnetic field generated by the meter's magnetic
pick-up, an AC voltage pulse is generated. These pulses provide an output frequency that is proportional
to volumetric flow.

Note: Comes complete with 5-point NIST calibration certificate for water and operator's manual.
Cables with connectors are sold separately. Cables with connectors are required.
High temperature magnetic pulse output (suffix "-HT") is not available on "-AMP" models. Cable for the "-HT" model is FTB-1400-HT-CABLE.
Amplified pulse output, suffix "-AMP" is not available on "-HT" models. Cable for the "-AMP" version is FTB-1400-AMP-Cable.
For units with BSPP threads, add suffix "-BSP" to model number, add $10 to price (not available on 2" models).
Repair kits contain: rotor and rotor shaft, upstream rotor support, retaining ring, thrust ball, bearing, and downstream rotor support.
Ordering Example: (1) FTB-1411 1/2 NPT stainless turbine, $715.00, plus (1) DPF701 Digital panel meter for rate of total display, $280.00, plus (1) FTB-1400-CABLE 3m (10') cable assembly with 2-pin straight connector and stripped leads, $72.00, $715.00 + 280.00 + 72.00 = $1,067.00
