General
The BiRotor Plus is an extremely accurate dual cased flow Dependability
measuring device. It produces, via the use of non wetted There is no metal to metal contact between the rotors and
pickoffs, a high resolution signal which is directly the measurement chamber. The meter is therefore
proportional to the rate of liquid flow through the meter. extremely durable. The rotors, bearings and timing gears
These signals are shaped by a simple internal pre-amplifier are the only moving parts. Maintenance requirements are
for transmission to ancillary equipment. the lowest in the industry.

The BiRotor Plus Meter utilizes the exclusive BiRotor Affordability

principle. There are no sliding, oscillating, or reciprocating No premium for superior performance. Brodie offers the
parts. BiRotor Plus at a competitive price.

Accuracy Flexibility
The BiRotor Plus meter is the most accurate PD meter in
The BiRotor plus meter can be installed both vertically or
the market. Outperforming any other meter in the industry,

Flange Ratings PSI bar To convert pressure drop value to the actual process fluid,
ANSI 150# 285 19.5
use the following equation:
ANSI 300# 740 51
Delta PA = (cPA)0.25 * (SGA)0.75 * Delta Pm
DIN PN 16 232 16 Delta PA = Pressure Drop on Actual Fluid in PSI
DIN PN 40 580 40 cPA = Viscosity of Actual Fluid in cP
SGA = Density of Actual Fluid in SG
Delta Pm = Pressure Drop on Mineral Spirits
