Patent attributes
An in-line flow meter assembly for insertion into a pipe section, including a body comprising an elongate tubular section having a cavity; a turbine assembly support extending a determined distance from the body; a turbine shaft attached or coupled to the turbine shaft connection portion; a turbine element having a plurality of rotor blades extending radially from a central hub of the turbine element; a bearing positioned on the shaft and press fit into a hub of the turbine element; a pickup coil that is able to sense rotational motion of the turbine element and convert the rotational motion into a pulsing electrical signal; a riser having a height such that when the riser is attached or coupled to the pipe section, a rotational axis of the turbine element is located in a cross sectional center of the pipe section, regardless of a diameter of the pipe section.
