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

Application

In order of magnitude from largest to smallest, these are used in oil and gas, water and wastewater, gas utility, chemical, power, food and beverage, aerospace, pharmaceutical, metals and mining, and pulp and paper.
