Turbine Flow Meter
Precision liquid, gas, and hydrocarbon velocity measurement with rapid quarter-second response, ±0.25% accuracy, and integral 4-20mA output for custody transfer and industrial metering.
Turbine Flow Meter Overview
A turbine flow meter measures the velocity of liquids, gases and vapors in pipes, such as hydrocarbons in fuel flow measurement, chemical flow metering, water flow metering, cryogenic liquid flow metering, air or gas flow metering, and general industrial flow metering. High accuracy turbine flowmeters are available for custody transfer of hydrocarbons and natural gas. A mass flow computer is often used in custody-transfer applications to correct for pressure, temperature and fluid properties in order to achieve the desired accuracy. Other low viscosity applications are tap and demineralized water, fuel flow meter solvents, and pharmaceutical fluids.
Turbine Flow Meter
Feature
- The plot of the volumetric flow is continuous since the turbine is constantly rotating with a speed. Of course, it would be zero if the flow stops as well. Repeatability is a highly desirable factor in any flow meter
- The rate of response for a turbine flow meter is quite fast (down to about a quarter of a second)
- Accuracy is very good (about ±0.25%)
- Rugged nature of the flow meter, allowing for daily usage
- Integral 4 to 20 mA output with no need for additional external components
