About Turbine Flow Meters

Turbine flow meters measure the rate of flow in a pipe or process line via a rotor that spins as the media passes through its blades. The rotational speed is a direct function of flow rate and can be sensed by magnetic pick-up, photoelectric cell, or gears. 


Products & Services Related to Turbine Flow Meters

Flow Meters
Flow meters (flowmeters) and flow sensors are devices used for measuring the flow rate or quantity of a moving fluid or gas.
Gas Flow Meters
Gas flow meters are used for measuring the flow or quantity of a moving gas in an enclosed pipe or passage.
Liquid Flow Meters
Liquid flow meters are used for measuring the flow or quantity of a moving fluid.
Mass Flow Meters and Controllers
A mass flow meter is a device that consist of a mass flow sensor or transducer and signal processing electronics.  Fluid (liquid or gas) flow is measured in mass rate units (lbs/min).
Ultrasonic Flow Meters
Ultrasonic flow meters use sound waves to determine flow rates. They can be either Doppler Effect meters or Time-of-Flight meters.
Velocity Flow Switches
Gas flow switches and liquid flow switches, velocity, are used to measure the flow or quantity of a moving fluid in terms of velocity, such as feet per minute.
Volumetric Gas Flow Switches
Volumetric gas flow switches are devices with a switch output used for measuring the flow or quantity of a moving gas in terms of a unit of volume per unit time, such as cubic feet per minute.

is the ability to interface meters with a computer for instantaneous flow readout to remotely control flow, or to allow unattended process operation.
Plugging Into The Ocean | Machine Design
The blades are also shaped so that water flowing either way spins the turbine, letting the unit generate power during a tide's ebb and flow.
