Turbine Flow Meter Technology
Sino-Instrument standard piping liquid turbine flowmeter, indicate the flow rate and measure total throughput of a liquid line.
As liquid flows through the meter and over the rotor, the rotor turns at a speed that is directly proportional to the flow rate.
A magnetic pickup senses the rotor blades, as they pass and generates an electrical (sine wave) signal.
These electrical pulses are then transmitted to the flow measurement readout equipment.

Liquid Turbine Flow Meter Working Principle
Liquid Turbine Flow Meter is a speed type flow meter based on the principle of torque balance.
The fluid flows through the sensor housing. Because the blades of the impeller have a certain angle with the flow direction. The impulse of the fluid makes the blades have a rotational torque. After the friction torque and fluid resistance are overcome, the blades rotate. The speed is stable after the torque is balanced.
Under certain conditions, the speed is proportional to the flow rate.
Due to the magnetic permeability of the blade, it is in the magnetic field of the signal detector (composed of permanent magnets and coils). The rotating blade cuts the magnetic lines of force. The magnetic flux of the coil is periodically changed. Electrical pulse signals are induced at both ends of the coil.
This signal is amplified and reshaped by an amplifier. A continuous rectangular pulse wave with a certain amplitude is formed. It can be transmitted to the display instrument remotely. The instantaneous flow or total amount of the fluid is displayed.
Within a certain flow range, the pulse frequency f is proportional to the instantaneous flow Q of the fluid flowing through the sensor. The flow equation is:
Where:
f——Pulse frequency [Hz]
k——The meter coefficient of the sensor [1/m3], which is given by the calibration sheet.
Q——The instantaneous flow of fluid (under working condition) [m3/h]
3600-conversion factor in seconds
The meter coefficient of each sensor is filled in the verification certificate by the manufacturer. The k value is set in the matching display instrument. The instantaneous flow and cumulative total can be displayed.
