Bulletin SS02001
The Smith MeterTM Sentry Series Turbine Meter is a
rimmed, rotor-type meter with helical blades. They
utilize both an upstream and downstream stator and
have tungsten carbide bearings with a hydrodynamic
thrust balance system. They provide highly accurate
measurement required for custody transfer of petroleum liquids such as crude oil and refined products
in larger pipelines.
Features
Rimmed rotor for durability and high resolution pulse
output.
Helical blades for a streamlined flow pattern less
susceptible to cavitation.
All Stainless Steel wetted parts for corrosion-free
service.
4" Model Code K2DRA
Tungsten carbide bearings provide long life on low
lubricity liquids.
Repeatability
0.02% over normal flow range.
Hydrodynamic thrust balance system to minimize
friction and wear on thrust bearings which allows for
long service life and high accuracy.
Flow Range
NACE Compliance to MR0175/ISO 15156-1.
Options
Bidirectional flow allows the meter to accurately register flow in either direction.
Multiple pickup coils are used when direction sensing or pulse security is required. A third pickup coil is
available to drive auxiliary equipment, such as a backup counter or prover.

Materials of Construction
The meter should be mounted in a horizontal attitude
(5) within a suitable flow conditioning assembly. It is
recommended that the meter be installed downstream of
a strainer for protection and upstream of the system control valve.
Refer to the installation manual for full instructions.
Applications
High Viscosity
The flow range of turbine meters is reduced considerably
when metering viscous liquids.
The minimum flow rate must be increased as the viscosity increases. The following relationships can be used to
approximate the increase (reduction in range) that will
maintain the stated linearity.
Viscous Min. = Normal Min.
x Viscosity (cP)
Rate
Rate
Meter Size (in)
Note: Caution should be used when dealing with liquids that result
in a viscous minimum rate greater than two times the normal, since
variations in operating temperature can result in substantial meter
factor shifts.
Low Density
When metering light hydrocarbons such as LPG or other
liquids with specific gravity less than 0.8, the flow range
should be shifted upward. The amount of shift can be
approximated by multiplying the normal minimum and
maximum flow rates by the following factor:
0.9
Rate Increasing Factor =
S
Where: S = The specific gravity of the liquid being metered.
The increased flow rate should not exceed the meter's
overspeed flow rate.
Minimum Back Pressure
In order to prevent cavitation, API M.P.M.S. Chapter 5
recommends a minimum back pressure according to the
following:
BP = (2 x P) + 1.25 Vp
Where: BP = Minimum back pressure
P = Pressure drop at maximum flow rate
Vp = Absolute vapor pressure at operating
temperature
Example:
6" Sentry at 4,000 BPH - P = 6 psi.
Absolute vapor pressure of butane at operating temperature - Vp = 50 psia.
Min. BP = (2 x 6) + 1.25 (50)
= 74.5 psi
