Small liquid lines, such as chemical injection, additive dosing and sample streams, carry flows too low for most meters to read well. The Barton 7183 is a 3/8" turbine meter listed for 0.45-4 US GPM, sized for this type of low-flow duty.

A turbine flow meter places a balanced rotor in the liquid stream. Flow turns the rotor at a speed proportional to flow rate, and a pickup coil on the meter body senses each passing blade tip, producing a pulse signal. Counting the pulses gives volume, and their frequency gives flow rate. The rotor is the only moving part.

The Barton 7183 belongs to Barton's Model 7100 line, which covers 3/8 to 8 inch meters. Model 7100 meters use wear-resistant tungsten carbide sleeve bearings, which need no lubrication and stand up to demanding service.

Barton's 7000 series uses a symmetrical bidirectional design, so it can measure flow in either direction where capacities are the same both ways.

Barton's published series data gives linearity of ±1% of reading over the flow range for meters smaller than 1 inch and repeatability of ±0.02% of reading. For accurate results, install the meter in straight pipe of the same diameter, with at least 10 pipe diameters of straight run upstream. Confirm materials, pressure rating and electronics against the Barton datasheet and your process before ordering.

Need a different size or model line? Compare the Barton 7184 (1/2", 0.88-8.2 US GPM) or Barton 7283 (3/8", 0.5-5 US GPM).

Who This Product Is Best For

  • Chemical injection and additive dosing lines

  • Low-flow hydrocarbon and process liquid measurement

  • Replacing an existing small-bore Barton 7000 meter

How to Specify & Install It

  1. Check that your normal and maximum flow fall within 0.45-4 US GPM and that your liquid suits a turbine meter.

  2. Install the meter in straight pipe of the same diameter, with at least 10 diameters of straight run upstream, as specified by Barton.

  3. Connect the pickup coil to your flow computer or readout and enter the meter's K-factor from its calibration certificate.

  4. Confirm the meter materials, pressure rating and electronics against the Barton datasheet and your process requirements before ordering.

  5. Verify the installation and flow direction requirements before putting the meter into service.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does a turbine flow meter work?
Liquid turns a balanced rotor; a pickup coil senses each blade and produces pulses in proportion to flow.

Which liquids suit the Barton 7183?
Barton's 7000 series is designed for low-viscosity liquids, including hydrocarbon liquids. Confirm viscosity and compatibility with our team.

How accurate is the Barton 7183?
Barton's series data gives linearity of ±1% of reading over the flow range for meters smaller than 1 inch and repeatability of ±0.02% of reading.

Does the meter need straight pipe?
Yes. Barton specifies straight pipe of the same diameter with at least 10 diameters upstream for accurate operation.

Should I choose the 7183 or another size?
Size the meter to your flow, not simply the pipe size. The 7183 is listed for 0.45-4 US GPM. For higher flows, see the Barton 7184. Contact our team to confirm the best option.

Can it measure reverse flow?
The 7000 series has a symmetrical bidirectional design, and electronic options can sense flow direction.
