Product Specifications
Thermo Scientific insertion turbine
flowmeters have provided highly accurate
and repeatable flow measurements for
large pipeline applications for over 35
years. The products are designed for easy
installation using the “hot tap” method,
which allows the end user to install and
retract the device through an isolating
valve without interrupting the process.
The insertion turbine offers a dependable
and economical flow metering
solution with accuracy superior to
that of differential pressure devices.

Insertion Turbine Flowmeters
for Liquid and Gas
As the demand for water, oil and gas increases
internationally, a complex network of
pipelines has been developed to transport
liquids and gases 24/7 over thousands of
miles to waiting consumers in every corner
of the globe. Most pipeline operators have a
fiscal and environmental obligation to
monitor the flow of product during the
transportation process. Thermo Fisher
Scientific offers a choice of technologies for
pipeline and industrial measurement to suit
most customers’ requirements, including
ultrasonic meters and insertion turbine
meters for larger pipes, and inline turbine
meters for smaller sizes and custody
transfer applications. Many operators have
difficulty finding appropriate metering
equipment for remote locations where there
is no power supply. Thermo Scientific
insertion turbine flowmeters are ideal for
measuring in remote locations since the
technology generates a pulse output
without the need for an independent power
supply. This allows the product to be used in
conjunction with a battery powered totalizer
or data logger. Thermo Scientific insertion
devices have been widely used for monitoring
oil, gas and potable water distribution for
many years, and have been marketed under
several well known brand names in the past
including EFM, AOT, and Flow Automation.
The Thermo Scientific insertion meter
provides outstanding performance at
a competitive price.
The insertion turbine meter consists of a
rotating impeller assembly mounted on the
end of a stainless steel insertion stem. The
impeller assembly is then installed into a
pipe through an isolating valve and held in
place by a seal housing. The impeller acts
much like a windmill in that the rotational
speed is directly proportional to the flow
