Turbine flow meters are extremely versatile and, as such, can be used in a diverse array of applications. In addition to being accurate to +/- 0.5%, (ideal in process flow applications), less accurate versions of the same technology is also available. These would be ideal in applications in which a high degree of accuracy is not necessarily required. A good example of this would be measuring water for irrigation purposes

They work by using a fan-like turbine that spins in a chamber in response to liquid flowing through it. As flow rates increase, so the turbine spins faster. These revolutions are recorded as a series of electrical pulses that are converted to a measurement of flow. When more accurate measuring such as that possible with PD (Positive Displacement) meters isn’t required, then turbine flow meters offer a useful lower cost metering option.
Our turbine flow meters are suitable for use with many chemicals oils, diesel, petrol and water. They can operate at pressures of up to 300 psi (20bar). They provide high flow rates of up to 150 litres per minute and operate in a wide temperature range. Robust construction and tough bearings ensure long life and durability.
Turbine meters are generally only suitable for use with liquids up to a maximum of 300 cPs. They also require siting where straight runs of pipe before and after the meter are possible. Therefore, minimising turbulence in the liquid that could affect flow measurement.
