DESIGN FEATURES

1. Any of a wide variety of

mechanical, electro-
mechanical or electron-
ic read-out/integrating
devices can be direct-
mounted to index plate.

2. Cast steel body of

wafer configuration with
a pressure rating of
1440 PSIG.

3. Improved all-aluminum
rotors machined from
bar stock and individu-
ally balanced for opti-
mum performance.

4. All meters are drilled

and tapped for mount-
ing of a drain to remove
condensates.

5. Larger shafts and bear-

ings than in previous 2˝
and 3˝ Turbo-Meters.

6. External fitting permits

shaft bearing lubrication
while meter is in opera-
tion. (Not Shown)

7. A slot sensor pulser

output is available for
mounting on the follow-
er magnet. (Not Shown)
