SMITH METER TURBINE METERS

The Smith Meter MV Series Turbine Meter is intended for
the measurement of crude oils and other products having a
relatively wide range of viscosities. It provides highly accu-
rate measurement for custody transfer and volume balance
pipeline applications. The design of the helical rotor makes
the MV Series a valuable asset for any pipeline application.

FEATURES
Titanium swept-front helical rotor swept front
design allows for increased meter factor stability
while minimizing the effects of containments or
debris.
Stainless steel interchangeable measuring
element provides for ease of serviceability while
providing corrosion-free service.
Reynolds number is calculated using the following

measures over a wide measurement turndown range.
The Measurement Turndown Range (MTR) of all turbine Estimated Minimum Reynolds Number by Product
meters is dependent upon both the Flow Range and the

TESTING
Dynamic Testing
Dynamic testing enables a meter's performance to be simulated over a wide flow and viscosity operating range.
Each meter will be tested over the entire Reynolds number range of the application by utilizing a multiple product,
high accuracy test.
