Flostar M
Designed to meet the advanced needs of water utilities in large revenue collection applications
Flostar M is the water meter conceived for drinkable water measurement. Its the best choice for metering of water in residential, commercial and industrial applications. Wide Measuring Range Flostar M is a single jet meter available in sizes from DN 40 to 150. Its metrological performances far exceed ISO/EEC Class C standards. Its low flow accuracy range combined with significant peak flow capacity ensure complete and efficient measurement whatever the faced flow-rates. Reliability Flostar M features a direct magnetic transmission between the turbine and the register without any intermediate gearing in the metered water. This results in a very robust and reliable design able to withstand most types of potable water environments. Ease of read in the toughest humid environments (ie: flooded pits) is secured by hermetically sealed IP68 register (copper can/mineral glass envelope). Simple an effective Simple but highly engineered materials and design enable a very long durability and the best performances for water metering. Endurance & Peak Flow Resistance Performance over time is a key requirement for efficient billing. Flostar M features a patented turbine ball pivoting enhancing endurance at low flow-rates. Hydrodynamic balance and turbine design bring resistance at high and peak flows.

Working Principle
> Single jet Class C > Hermetically sealed register (coppercan/mineral glass envelope) > Patented ball pivot > Patented turbine levitation
Flostar M is a single jet meter. The water jet is canalized by an injector before hitting the turbine. The single jet tapered injector straightens the flow profile. Its large bore area prevents meter overspeed by clogging. The high precision processing of the inlet 1 allows Flostar M to meet best accuracy without the need for any bypass or calibration vane adjustment system. The turbine movement is directly transmitted to the extra dry register through a magnetic coupling 2 without the need for any intermediate gearing in the metered water. This results in a meter with very stable
accuracy initially and over time in the widest range of installation configurations and potable water nature. High quality material for the turbine bearings and patented ball pivot 3 design are securing leakage metering initially and over time regardless of the flow profiles. The hermetically sealed copper can/mineral glass enveloppe of the IP68 register 4 is safeguarding the read and integrity of the indicator in the toughest environments (flooded pits, mechanical tampering attempts, ...).

Installation requirements
> Flostar M should be installed in the horizontal position with totalizer facing up for optimum performances. > Installation of a strainer upstream of the meter is recommended to protect the hydraulics against debris that might result from accidents on the network, piping corrosion, ... (see Itron strainer leaflet - Flostar M DN 40 is supplied as standard with a strainer and can be fitted with standard non return valve on request). > Flostar M is not sensitive to flow disturbers
> Easy sizing of the meter Qn 15, 20, 30 and 50 m3/h can be supplied with the upper DN length and flanging for easy downsizing in the field (meter sizing adaptation to real faced flow-rates).
