Turbine Flow Meters
FT3/50-1502 High Pre... Industrial Turbine Flow Meter Turbine Flow Meters
Flowhire's turbine flow meters rank among our most popular liquid flow measurement tools. Our range includes options for both safe and hazardous areas, with pressures up to 15,000 psi, such as our FT3/50 1502 High Pressure Meter. Simple in concept and requiring no external power, Flowhire's turbine meters measure liquid, chemical, and water flow effectively.
Flowhire offers sizes from 10mm to 100mm, complete with an ATEX battery-powered resettable totaliser and a robust, helically milled rotor. Additionally, Flowhire turbine meters now come in a rugged aluminium housing, making them ideal for extreme environments.
If you prefer to purchase rather than rent, you can do so through our sister company, Flowquip. (link: https://www.flowquip.co.uk/flowmetertechnologies/turbine-flow-meters/)
Typical Applications
Turbine flow meters serve a wide variety of industries. For instance, they handle hygienic mixing and batching in food and drink manufacturing, dairies, and distilleries. Moreover, they measure water and waste flow.
Versatility and Limitations
Turbine meters offer versatility and effectiveness. However, variations in fluid density, such as changes due to temperature, significantly affect them. Additionally, their turndown ratio typically limits to 10:1. Nevertheless, we always delight in advising on your specific application and will supply the right meter for your needs.
How Does a Turbine Meter Work?
A free-spinning rotor turns as the fluid passes through, and the rotational speed directly correlates with the flow rate. Consequently, a magnetic coil sensor mounted in the wall of the flowmeter body generates small voltage pulses. These voltage pulses correspond to the flow rate.
