(1) Pressure rating is reduced at higher operating temperatures.
(2) With optional 150# RF ANSI flanges (std. for TS30C) pressure
rating is 275 PSI = 19 BAR = 1900 kPa.
Model Nominal Temperature Rating:
Design
temperature:
-40°F/+257°F -40°C/+125°C
Pulser ATEX listing: -40°F/+140°F -40°C/+60°C
If the operating temperature can exceed +120°F (+50°C),
use high temperature (
HT
) rotors, code L (or M).

Optimum performance (accuracy & service life) is between
50% and 85% of nominal capacity.
On low viscosity, lubricating liquids, intermittent service to
125% of nominal capacity is acceptable.
NTEP approvals are with 5:1 turn-down.
OIML approvals are with 10:1 turn-down.
Meters may be used at lower flow rates, but meter error in-
creases below 10% of capacity on low viscosity liquids.
On higher viscosity liquids, error at low flow rates diminishes
progressively. Over 100 cP performance should be accepta-
ble to 3-5% of capacity, over 1000 cP performance should be
acceptable to 1-2% of capacity.
Liquid Viscosity³:
With standard LV rotors, meters may be used to full nominal
capacity up to 300 cPs (1500 SSU). When viscosity can
exceed 300 cPs (1500 SSU), high viscosity (HV) rotors must
be used.
With HV rotors, meters may be used to full nominal
capacity up to 1000 cPs (5000 SSU).
Over 1000 cPs (5000 SSU), HV rotors are mandatory.
In high viscosity service, flow meter capacity is reduced ac-
cording to this table:
