发明名称 Turbine flow meter
摘要 A turbine flow meter housing is provided for hot oil trucks and similar applications. The ends of the housing are configured with external threads and flat end faces with embedded O-rings for connection to the inlet and outlet pipes with hammer unions. Because of the flat end face style hammer union connections, the housing and turbine assembly can be removed for service and cleaning using only a hammer and without having to remove the inlet and outlet pipes. The housing is sized for use with 2-inch pipes and has an overall length of only 6.167 inches yet maintains a minimum crush zone of 0.157 inches on each end to prevent deformation when the hammer unions are tightened.
