Both Hoffer Flow turbine meters and Turbines, Inc. turbine flow meters offer reliable solutions for liquid flow measurement, supporting similar line sizes and flow rates. These precision instruments utilize a spinning rotor to accurately measure flow, making them ideal for applications requiring high accuracy, repeatability, and durability across various industrial liquid measurement needs.
Similarities
Both meters come in a variety of end connections such as wafer, threaded, grooved, and flanged, and Wingnut/WECO high pressure. The Wing Nut High Pressure meter is the equivalent of the Turbines, Inc. HP Series and has similar flow ranges per line size.
Comparing The HP Series to the Hoffer Wing Nut High Pressure flow ranges looks like the below
| Line Size | Turbines, Inc. HP Series Flow Meter Flow Rate (gpm) | Hoffer Flow Wing Nut High Pressure Flow Rate (gpm) |
|---|---|---|
| 1" | NA | 4-60 |
| 1 1/2″ | NA | 5-175 |
| 2" Low Flow | 15-180 | NA |
| 2" | 42-420 | 40-400 |
| 3" | 60-600 | 84-840 |
Hoffer Flow And Turbines, Inc. Flow Meter Operation
Both Hoffer Flow turbine meters and Turbines, Inc. provide turbine flow meters. These meters are manufactured to be used inline in pipe or between 2 flanges. Both meters can be used in the oilfields and used for water or other fluid applications. As shown in the chart above, both the Hoffer Flow turbine meter and our meter have similar flow ranges, with the Turbines, Inc, meter offering a slight edge due to broader flow ranges and large in-stock inventory.
