On large liquid lines, small measurement errors add up to large volumes. The Barton 7308 is an 8" turbine meter listed for 540-5400 US GPM, built for high-volume liquid measurement.

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 7308 belongs to Barton's Model 7300 line, which covers 4 to 12 inch meters. Model 7300 meters use tungsten carbide sleeve bearings and give a higher-resolution output, with more pulses per unit volume, which helps on large lines. 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 ±0.25% of reading over the flow range 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 7306 (6", 250-2250 US GPM), Barton 7310 (10", 800-8000 US GPM), or Barton 7108 (8", 540-5400 US GPM).

Who This Product Is Best For

  • High-volume hydrocarbon liquid transfer and pipelines

  • Terminal and storage measurement points

  • Applications where custody-transfer-grade metering is considered

How to Specify & Install It

  1. Check that your normal and maximum flow fall within 540-5400 US GPM, and that your liquid suits a turbine meter.

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

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

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 7308?
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 7308?
Barton's series data gives linearity of ±0.25% of reading over the flow range 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 7308 or another size?
Size the meter to your flow, not the pipe. The 7308 is listed for 540-5400 US GPM. For lower flows, see the Barton 7306. For higher flows, see the Barton 7310. Contact our team to confirm.

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