Frequently Asked Questions

A turbine flow meter measures flow by using a rotor or turbine wheel that spins as fluid or gas passes through it. The rotational speed of the turbine is proportional to the velocity of the fluid. Sensors, often magnetic or optical, detect the turbine’s rotation, and this data is converted into a flow rate.

Turbine flow meters can measure a wide range of fluids and gases, including water, oil, chemicals, natural gas, and other clean, low-viscosity fluids. However, they are not ideal for slurries, highly viscous liquids, or fluids with debris that can damage the turbine blades.

Turbine flow meters should be regularly cleaned to prevent debris buildup, especially in applications with potential contaminants. Routine maintenance includes:

Bearing Inspection and Replacement: Bearings can wear out and affect the turbine’s rotation.
Calibration: Periodic calibration using a known reference standard ensures accuracy over time. Calibration can be done on-site or sent to specialized facilities, depending on the application and criticality.

High Accuracy: Typically accurate within ±0.5% to ±1% of the reading.
Wide Range of Flow Rates: Can measure from very low to high flow rates.
Cost-Effective: Generally affordable compared to other flow meters.
Good for Clean Fluids: Ideal for applications with clean, low-viscosity fluids.
Fast Response Time: Provides near real-time flow data.

Turbine flow meters measure clean, low-viscosity fluids like water, fuels, oils, chemicals, gases (natural gas, hydrogen), cryogenics, and pharmaceutical or food-grade liquids, with materials tailored for specific applications.

Turbine flow meters are made from durable materials like stainless steel (316 SS), aluminum, bronze, or nickel alloys to resist corrosion and wear. Seals and bearings often use materials such as tungsten carbide, PTFE, or ceramic for enhanced durability and compatibility.
