Recordall® Turbo Series Meters
Models 6600 (16") & 10000 (20")

DESCRIPTION
Recordall Turbo Series meters meet or exceed the most recent
revision of AWWA Standard C701 Class II Standards and are
available in cast iron for the 16" and 20" meters. Turbo Series
meters comply with the lead-free provisions of the Safe Drinking
Water Act.
Designed for commercial and industrial applications, the Recordall
Turbo Series meter is the smart choice for larger facilities including
hotels, apartment buildings, irrigation centers and manufacturing
and processing plants. You can count on the Turbo Series meter to
help reduce your day-to-day maintenance costs, while delivering
accurate and efficient performance.
Models 6600 and 10000 are designed for 16" and 20"
applications. These meters feature:
•t

Direct coupled turbine based on an exclusive “floating rotor”
design that reduces bearing friction and associated
wear and tear.

•t

Low pressure loss for improved system efficiency.

•t

Exceptional registration accuracy across low flow rate, normal
operating flow rate and maximum continuous operation flow.

•t

Permanently sealed, tamper-resistant register.

•t

Meters and encoders are compatible with Badger Meter
AMR/AMI meter reading systems and other approved reading
technologies.

Applications: Recordall Turbo Series meters are designed for
cold water, commercial and industrial applications where flows
are consistent medium to high flows. Applications include hotels,
apartment buildings, irrigations centers and manufacturing
and processing plants. Turbo Series meters help reduce day-today maintenance costs while delivering accurate and efficient
performance.
Operation & Performance: Direct magnetic drive is achieved
when the magnet carrier is driven by a gear train coupled to
the rotor. The gear train consists of two sets of gears connected
by a vertical transmission shaft. One gear set is at the magnet
carrier, the other is a worm gear set at the rotor shaft. When
water flows into the Turbo Series meter measuring element, it
contacts the multi-vaned rotor. The resulting rotor rotation is
then transmitted by magnetic coupling to a sealed register or
encoder. The direct magnetic drive is built to provides a reliable
meter-to-registration coupling.

Tamper-Proof Features: Unauthorized removal of the register
or encoder is inhibited by the option of a tamper detection seal
wire screw, TORX® tamper-resistant seal screw or the proprietary
tamper-resistant keyed seal screw. Each can be installed at the
meter site or at the factory.
Construction: The Recordall Turbo Series meter is constructed in
compliance with ANSI and AWWA C701 standards. It consists of
the following basic components: meter housing, interchangeable,
unitized measuring element and permanently sealed direct
reading registers or encoders.
The measuring element consists of the transmission coupling,
rotor, inlet and outlet straightening vanes with nose cones, and
calibration ring assembly. The unique inlet and outlet straightening
vanes minimize swirl from piping arrangements upstream as well
as downstream.
A strainer is recommended to help ensure optimal flow
conditioning and protection for the measuring element. Badger
Meter offers dual flange plate strainers—sizes 16" and 20"—in
fabricated steel
To simplify maintenance, the registers or encoders and measuring
elements can be removed without removing the meter housing.
Interchangeability of certain parts between meters also minimizes
spare parts inventory investment.
Meter Installation: The meter is designed for installations where
flow is in one direction only. Companion flanges for installation of
meters on various pipe types and sizes are available in cast iron as
an option. See the Recordall Turbo Series Meters User Manual for
specific instructions.
