What is a Turbine Flow Meter?
Turbine meters measure flow by using a rotor with blades or impellers that spin freely as fluid passes through the meter. The rotational speed of the turbine is directly proportional to the flow rate. A sensor detects the rotor blades as they rotate converting them into a readable electrical signal. This simple yet effective principle allows for reliable, real-time volumetric flow measurement with minimal pressure loss. Turbine flow meters are especially suited for applications involving steady, non-corrosive, and debris-free flows.
How Do Turbine Flow Meters Work?
Turbine flow meters operate by directing fluid through a rotor-mounted turbine. As the fluid flows, it causes the turbine to spin at a speed proportional to the flow rate. Sensors detect the rotor’s rotations and convert them into an electrical signal, which is used to calculate the volumetric flow. With a simple, robust design, turbine meters offer reliable performance with low pressure drop, making them well-suited for clean fluids in both inline and insertion configurations.
