Wafer and NPT Conventional Liquid Turbine
Sur-Flo Meters & Controls supplies the Quiksert Conventional Wafer and NPT Style Turbine for clean liquid flow measurement. Designed to be easily swapped with similar conventional turbine products, this meter combines rugged stainless steel construction with abrasion-resistant components to maintain measurement accuracy in corrosive and abrasive service.
Meter type: Conventional wafer (Quiksert) and NPT style turbine meter
Ideal for: clean liquid measurement
Housing: 316 stainless steel
Rotor: CD4MCU stainless steel with abrasion-resistant tungsten carbide shaft and journal bearings
The Sur-Flo Conventional Wafer and NPT Style Turbine
Conventional Wafer Type Turbines and NPT Turbines are both an excellent solution for clean liquid measurement. Both the wafer type and NPT turbine are designed to be easily swapped with similar products already installed in the field, simplifying replacement and reducing downtime during a meter change.
The meter features a rugged 316 stainless steel housing and rotor support assemblies, a CD4MCU stainless steel rotor, and abrasion-resistant tungsten carbide rotor shaft and journal bearings. They maintain measurement accuracy and mechanical integrity within corrosive and abrasive fluids commonly found in oil field water flood projects and many industrial applications.
What the Conventional Wafer and NPT Style Turbine Is Used For
The Quiksert and NPT turbine are suited for clean liquid flow measurement applications where fluid conditions are controlled and debris exposure is limited.
- Clean liquid measurement in industrial process lines
- Oil field water flood projects
- Applications requiring interchangeability with existing conventional turbine installations
- Industrial applications involving corrosive or abrasive fluids within the meter’s design tolerances

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a conventional wafer and NPT style turbine meter used for? The Sur-Flo Model BS1100 is used for clean liquid flow measurement in industrial process lines and oil field water flood projects, where fluid conditions are controlled and debris exposure is limited.
Can the Model BS1100 handle corrosive or abrasive fluids? The Model BS1100 maintains measurement accuracy and mechanical integrity in the corrosive and abrasive fluids commonly found in oil field water flood projects and many industrial applications, using a rugged stainless steel housing and abrasion-resistant tungsten carbide rotor shaft and journal bearings. For high-debris or high-scaling service, please contact Sur-Flo as the SF1015 Paddle Meter may be a better fit.
What’s the difference between a turbine meter and a paddle meter? Turbine meters use internal rotating rotor assemblies and perform best in clean, controlled fluid conditions. Paddle meters, like the SF1015, have an open bore design which makes them better suited to high-debris and high-corrosion service.
Is the Quiksert and Model BS1100 turbine interchangeable with other turbine meters? Yes. Both the Quiksert (wafer-type) and BS1100 turbine are designed to be easily swapped with similar conventional turbine products, simplifying replacement in existing installations.
What flow monitors are Sur-Flo conventional turbines compatible with? Both the Quiksert (wafer-type) and BS1100 turbine are compatible with Sur-Flo flow monitors as well as other conventional totalizers that accept a standard turbine frequency output signal.
