Turbine flow meters are one of the most commonly used and simplest methods of measuring liquid flow, from water and beer to aggressive chemicals, including ultra-pure water.
Turbine flowmeters work in two primary ways:
- Analogous to a propellor or windmill – Axial turbine
- Analogous to a water wheel – Radial turbine
In an axial turbine, the fluid flows along the rotation axis where the fluid enters and exits in the same direction, the fluid striking the angled turbine blades.
By contrast, fluid flowing through a radial turbine strikes the plain blade in the direction of the tangent or 90° to the rotational axis.
Titan’s mini turbine flowmeter range use the radial flow principle based on the Pelton wheel technique.
This well proven method is the ideal way of measuring low viscosity liquids and are better suited for applications requiring low flow rates, typically seen in medical applications and laboratory work.
