Turbine flowmeters are a precision measurement device that allow
high accuracy with minimal cost and configuration.
Gauges North West can offer a range of materials from low cost
nylon and aluminium bodies to specialist options such as PVDF or
stainless steel for more aggressive, higher temperature
applications.
Remote flow rate indication, alarms, totalising and batch control
functions are available enabling the flow meter to be located some
considerable distance from the associated secondary
instrument.Advantages for turbine flow meters
High accuracy and good repeatability
Fast response time – typically a few milliseconds
High pressure and temperature capabilities
Wide flow range options for both liquids and gases
Good flexibility with associated digital readout devices
including flow control options for both PC and PL
Disadvantages for turbine flow meters
Require upstream straightener and filter for best results
May over-read in pulsating flows
Turbine flow meters for liquid can require regular
re-calibration due to bearing wear
Particulates can cause line blockage
Has rotating parts that could clog from larger suspended
solids in the liquid stream.
Most turbine meters need a straight section of pipe upstream
from the flowmeter in order to reduce turbulent flow. This may make
installation a challenge in small areas.
Typical Application for turbine flow meters
Pilot plants
Research and development facilities
Cooling water monitoring
Inventory control metering applications
Test stands
Water consumption
