Small liquid lines, such as chemical injection, additive dosing and sample streams, can carry flows too low for many meters to read effectively. The Barton 7286 is a 3/4" turbine meter listed for 2.3-23 US GPM, making it suited to 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, while a pickup coil on the meter body senses each passing blade tip and produces a pulse signal. Counting the pulses gives volume, and their frequency gives flow rate. The rotor is the only moving part.

The Barton 7286 belongs to Barton's Model 7200 line, which covers 3/8 to 3 inch meters. Model 7200 meters use self-lubricating precision stainless steel ball bearings with dry-lubricant-impregnated ball separators, suited to low-flow, small-line duty. Barton's 7000 series uses a symmetrical bidirectional design, allowing flow measurement 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 7285 (5/8", 1.6-16 US GPM), Barton 7201 (1", 5-50 US GPM), or Barton 7186 (3/4", 2.3-23 US GPM).

Who This Product Is Best For

The Barton 7286 is well suited for:

  • Chemical injection and additive dosing lines

  • Low-flow hydrocarbon and process liquid measurement

  • Small-bore production and process lines

  • Sample streams and other low-flow applications

  • Replacing an existing small-bore Barton 7000 series meter

How to Specify & Install It

  1. Confirm the flow range: Check that your normal and maximum flow fall within the listed 2.3-23 US GPM range and that the liquid is suitable for a turbine meter.

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

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

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

Frequently Asked Questions

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

Which liquids suit the Barton 7286?
Barton's 7000 series is designed for low-viscosity liquids, including hydrocarbon liquids. Confirm viscosity and material compatibility before ordering.

How accurate is the Barton 7286?
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.

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

Should I choose the 7286 or another size?
Size the meter according to your required flow range, not simply the pipe size. The 7286 is listed for 2.3-23 US GPM. For lower flows, consider the Barton 7285. For higher flows, consider the Barton 7201. Contact General Tech to confirm the suitable model.

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

Is genuine Barton stock available with UAE shipping?
Yes. Genuine Barton stock ships free across the UAE. Call +971 6 5436933 for current pricing and lead time.
