Know about turbine flow meter

 


Flow measurement is the quantification of the fluid's movement. Flow measurement is one of the oldest recorded works in the instrumentation field. Flow measurements hold great importance in the industrial sector. Applications of flow measurement also expand to day to day measurements processes such as water service, gas stations etc. Now comes how to measure the flow? With the help of a proper flow instrument, you can measure the fluid flow in your system. The turbine flow meter is one of the major flow meters.


What is a flow meter?

The flow meter is a flow rate measuring instrument for determining linear/ non-linear volumetric and mass flow of gas or liquid. Flow meters improve accuracy along with the resolution of the fluid measure. Flow meters efficiently measure a fluid's volume, mass or speed.


What is a turbine flow meter?

The turbine flow meter is a fluid volume sensing instrument. When liquids or gasses pass via the turbine housing, it allows the turbine blades to rotate. The turbine rotor's velocity is directly proportional to the fluid's velocity getting passed through this turbine flow meter. An external pickoff is present that is mounted on the body of the turbine flow meter. It helps in sensing every passing rotor blade and causes the sensor to release a frequency output.


This flow instrument uses the fluid's mechanical energy to rotate the rotor in the flow stream. These turbine flow meters are majorly used in various industries for measuring liquids, vapours and gases reliably.


What are some factors based on which to select a turbine flow meter?

It depends on the flow meter application, there are different kinds of turbine flow meters to select from. Some factors come into effect while selecting the right flow meters. They are:


> Type of fluid


> Viscosity


> Connection


> Size of pipe


> Process Temperature (minimum and maximum)


> Flow Range (minimum and maximum)


> Pressure Range (minimum and maximum)


> Particular Application


What are the advantages of using a turbine flow meter?

If you require volumetric total flow or/and measurement of flow rate then the turbine flow meter is the perfect flow instrument. Turbine flow meters are used in a broad range of liquid and gas sensing applications. These instruments can endure high as well as low temperature and high pressure and provide a high turn-down with less uncertainty and great repeatability. Turbine flow meters are easy to install. Maintenance of such flow meters needs just periodic service and recalibration.


What are the major specifications of turbine flow meters?


You can determine repeatability by how good the turbine flow meters can indicate the same reading when the same flow situation exists. Precision is expressed in the percentage of true volume by measuring the closeness of measurement indicating the actual flow.


Applications of turbine flow meters


> Oil and Gas


> Aerospace and defence


> Power generation


> Municipal and industrial


> Cryogenic 


So we hope this blog has given a clear view about turbine flow meters which is volume sensing equipment. In various industries, this kind of flow instrument is used where it provides precise and correct results of measurements.

Types of Valves Used In Plumbing Systems

  A wide range of valves is used by plumbing systems for connecting pipes and controlling the water flow. For regulating the temperature and flow in plumbing and piping fixtures, water valves are extremely important. The valves can be made of a wide range of materials like plastic, brass, bronze, stainless steel, galvanized pipe, and cast iron. In this blog, we will be talking about the various types of plumbing valves which you can find commonly in your house. Gate Valves Plumbing Gate Valves ar e undoubtedly the most famous and widely used valves in any plumbing system. These valves come with an internal gate that is lowered or raised for controlling the flow of water to the other side. These valves are having a knob on the top that is used for controlling the movement of the gate. The gate valves can get damaged easily if the gates are not entirely closed or opened as the flow of water can wear out the metal parts. Butterfly Valve Plumbing Ball Valves a re used for all...
