Turbine flow meter is a device used to measure the flow rate of fluids by using a turbine to detect changes in flow velocity. Well, in pharmaceutical manufacturing, precise flow measurements are crucial for ensuring product quality, consistency, and safety. That’s where turbine flow meters come in. In this blog post, we’ll be taking a closer look at how turbine flow meters are used to measure demineralized water flow in the pharmaceutical industry. And the benefits they provide. So, let’s dive in and explore this exciting application case together!
A turbine flow meter is a type of flow meter that works by measuring the velocity of a fluid or gas as it passes through a turbine rotor. Turbine flow meters are commonly used to measure the flow of liquids and gases in a wide range of applications. They offer a high level of accuracy, especially in high flow rate applications, and can be used for both clean and dirty fluids. Turbine flow meters are also relatively easy to install and maintain, making them a popular choice in many industries.
The working principle of the turbine flowmeter is that a turbine is placed in the center of the pipe, and the two ends are supported by bearings.
As the fluid passes through the flowmeter tubes, it strikes the turbine blades. Generates driving torque to the turbine. Make the turbine rotate by overcoming the conflicting moment and the fluid resistance moment.
In a certain flow range, for a certain fluid medium viscosity, the rotational angular velocity of the turbine is proportional to the fluid flow velocity.
Thus, the fluid flow rate can be obtained from the rotational angular velocity of the turbine. The fluid flow through the pipe can then be calculated.
Turbine flow meters are widely used in various industries for measuring the flow rate of liquids and gases. Here are some common applications of turbine flow meters:
Petroleum industry:Turbine flow meters are used to measure the flow of crude oil, refined products, and natural gas in pipelines and other process applications.
Chemical industry: Turbine flow meters are used to measure the flow of acids, alkalis, solvents, and other chemicals in various chemical processing applications.
Water and wastewater treatment: Turbine flow meters are used to measure the flow of water and wastewater in municipal water treatment plants, wastewater treatment plants, and other applications.
Food and beverage industry: Turbine flow meters are used to measure the flow of liquids such as milk, juices, beer, and other beverages in food and beverage processing plants.
Pharmaceutical industry: Turbine flow meters are used to measure the flow of liquids in pharmaceutical manufacturing processes, such as the production of drugs, vaccines, and other medical products.
Overall, turbine flow meters are widely used in applications that require accurate measurement of flow rate. Such as process control, quality control, and monitoring of production processes.
Demineralized Water Flow Measurement Case Study
Challenges in measuring demineralized water flow
Demineralized water: water that has been softened. That is to say, the water with part or all of the calcium and magnesium ions removed is the water that does not form scale after boiling. Boilers must use this water.
Demineralized water is super important in making medicine because it needs to be pure and clean. But measuring how much of this water is flowing can be tricky for a few reasons.
The water doesn’t conduct electricity very well, which makes it hard to measure with regular equipment that relies on conductivity.
It needs to be measured with really good equipment that won’t make it dirty.
Air bubbles can form in the water, which messes up the measurements and might even break the equipment.
Temperature changes can also mess up the measurements because the water gets thicker or thinner depending on how hot or cold it is.
The equipment that measures the water flow needs to be taken care of and maintained regularly, which can be a big job, especially in large factories.
So, even though measuring the flow of demineralized water is important, it can be a challenge because of these issues.
Demineralized Water Flow Measurement in a pharmaceutical factory.
Soft water flow measurement in a pharmaceutical factory. Not long ago, we received an inquiry from a customer about a flow meter for measuring softened water.
After communication, I learned that this is a large local pharmaceutical factory. Therefore, after detailed communication, we learned that the customer needs to install a flow meter for measuring the flow of purified water on the equipment in the newly added pharmaceutical workshop. It is convenient for online real-time monitoring of softened water flow. Conducive to the management of ingredients, saving labor and time costs.
Considering the relatively low conductivity of demineralized water, it is not suitable to use electromagnetic flowmeters. We recommended liquid turbine flowmeters with sensitive response and high precision to our customer.

So, to sum it up, measuring water flow accurately is really important in the pharmaceutical industry, especially when it comes to demineralized water. But, using turbine flow meters can help us measure the water flow more accurately, even though there are challenges like low conductivity and air bubbles. These meters are also easy to maintain and won’t make the water dirty.
In the future, we can expect to see more use of turbine flow meters in the pharmaceutical industry because everyone wants better and more consistent products. With advances in technology and better understanding of the importance of accurate flow measurement, these meters will probably become even more popular.

Ultrasonic Flow Detectors Working Principle
Ultrasonic Flow Detectors are also called ultrasonic transducers. In fact, it is a piezoelectric ceramic whose frequency is the same as its resonant frequency. It uses the piezoelectric effect of the material to convert electrical energy into mechanical vibration.
Under normal circumstances, ultrasonic waves are first generated by an ultrasonic generator. It is converted into mechanical vibration by the ultrasonic transducer. The ultrasonic wave can be generated by the ultrasonic wave deriving device and the ultrasonic wave receiving device.
Ultrasonic transducers mainly include shell, acoustic window (matching layer), piezoelectric ceramic disc transducer, backing, lead-out cable, receiver, and other parts.
Among them, the piezoelectric ceramic disc transducer plays the same role as a general transducer. It is mainly used to transmit and receive ultrasonic waves, and above the piezoelectric ceramic disc transducer is the receiver. It is mainly composed of lead cables, transducers, metal rings, and rubber washers. Used as an ultrasonic receiver. Receive the Doppler dial-back signal generated outside the frequency band of the piezoelectric ceramic disc transducer.
Ultrasonic transducers are piezoelectric ceramics that resonate at ultrasonic frequencies. The piezoelectric effect of the material converts electrical signals into mechanical vibrations. The ultrasonic transducer is an energy conversion device. Its function is to convert the input electric power into mechanical power (ultrasound) and then transmit it out. , It consumes a small part of its own power.
Types of ultrasonic transducers: can be divided into piezoelectric transducers, sandwich transducers, cylindrical transducers, inverted horn transducers, and so on.
Transit Time Ultrasonic Flow Meter adopts the measurement principle of the time difference method. It uses the ultrasonic wave emitted by the sensor to propagate in the flowing fluid. The sound wave propagation speed in the downstream direction will increase, and the backward direction will decrease. In the same propagation distance, there will be different transmission times. According to the difference between the transmission time and the measured The relationship between fluid velocity measures the fluid velocity.
By setting the flowmeter and considering the cross-sectional distribution of the flow velocity, the average flow velocity can be calculated. Then the volume flow of the fluid can be obtained according to the cross-sectional area of the pipe.
Notes: V measure fluid velocity M ultrasonic reflection times D pipe diameter θ The angle between the ultrasonic signal and the fluid T up The time when the downstream sensor transmits the signal to the upstream T down Time from upstream sensor to downstream ΔT = T up – T down
Doppler ultrasonic flowmeter uses the physical principle of Doppler frequency shift to measuring the water flow velocity. Therefore, the Doppler ultrasonic flowmeter is suitable for measuring fluids containing solid particles or air bubbles. Not suitable for measuring pure water.
The scope of use includes: Natural rivers, artificial rivers, farmland channels, urban sewers, corporate sewage outlets, sewage treatment plants, etc.
The products comply with the SL/T 186-1997 standard.
It is suitable for environments that require continuous and accurate measurement of flow rate and flow rate. It has obvious advantages such as convenient installation and maintenance, high reliability, and high precision.
Ultrasonic flow detectors are also called ultrasonic transducers. Or it is often understood by people as an ultrasonic flow sensor.
Ultrasonic flowmeter is an application of ultrasonic, which measures the flow of liquid by applying the speed difference method.

4-20mA to 0-10v voltage, this is I/V conversion. That is current-voltage conversion, usually used for long-distance signal transmission in the industry.
How to convert a 4-20mA to 0-10V /1-5V signal?
There are two methods: one is to do it yourself with an operational amplifier. The other is to buy ready-made products, such as a 4-20MA/0-10V current-to-voltage isolation converter.
4-20mA is the standard output of our measuring instrument. Such as pressure transmitter, temperature transmitter, flow meter, liquid level transmitter, and so on.
In the field of industrial measurement and control, we often encounter the following problems:
How to convert 0-5V to 4-20mA, 0-20mA or 4-24mA?
How to convert 0-10V to 4-20mA, 0-20mA or 4-24mA?
How to transform ±5V, ±10V AC voltage signal into 4-20mA, 0-20mA, or 4-24mA DC current signal?
4-20mA means that the minimum current is 4mA and the maximum current is 20mA.
The industry generally needs to measure various non-electrical physical quantities, such as temperature, pressure, speed, angle, etc. They all need to be converted into analog electrical signals before they can be transmitted to the control room or display equipment hundreds of meters away. This device that converts physical quantities into electrical signals is called a transmitter. The most widely used in the industry is to use a 4-20mA current to transmit analog quantities.
4-20mA
The general input impedance of 4-20mA is 250-300 ohm, which is not easy to have interfered. But maintenance measurement is more troublesome;
4-20ma DC signal can provide power. In addition, it is not affected by the load size within a certain range, and has strong anti-interference ability.
4-20mA can realize two-wire transmission, saving wires.
The current signal is suitable for long-distance transmission, but the current signal has weak anti-interference ability, and shielded wires are generally used.
0-10V
0-10v are generally high-impedance inputs and are susceptible to interference. But maintenance, measurement and calculation are all very convenient.
0-10V, is active, three-wire system, or four-wire system.
The voltage signal is stable and anti-interference is strong, but it is not suitable for long-distance transmission (with voltage drop);
The 4~20ma signal is the sensor transmission signal commonly used in industrial transmitters. It does not have a fixed-line voltage. The current is constant during transmission and the voltage changes with the load.
For our measurement and control instruments, it depends on whether your instrument wiring is a four-wire system or a two-wire system.
The four-wire system may be AC220V or DC24V; Two-wire system or three-wire system, generally DC24V.
Common standard analog signals are: 0-5V, 0-10V, ±5V, ±10V, 4-20mA, 0-20mA or 4-24mA. Common transmitters or sensors use one or more of the above formats to output standard signals.
Common secondary meters or acquisition cards generally accept input signals of one or more of the above formats.
When the output signal of the transmitter or sensor is different from the input signal format of the secondary instrument or acquisition card, we need to add a converter between them.
Because the 4-20mA standard signal has the advantages of strong anti-interference ability and no attenuation in the transmission process, it has been widely used in the field of measurement and control.
Often in order to achieve interface compatibility or improve electromagnetic compatibility, it is necessary to convert 0-5V, 0-10V and other standard voltage signals into 4-20mA standard current signals. Or the 4-20mA current signal needs to be converted into a 0-5V or 0-10V standard voltage signal suitable for the input of the acquisition card.
How to convert a 4-20mA to 0-10V /1-5V signal?
I have a pressure transmitter here that outputs a current of 4-20mA. As the input signal of the inverter. Now it is required to change the input signal of the inverter to a voltage signal. That is, the current of 4-20mA should be replaced with a voltage of 0-5V or 0-10V. The inverter has two inputs: 0-5V and 0-10V. Excuse me, how can it be transformed?
Answer: There are two schemes to achieve:
1.Use a hardware circuit to convert the input 4-20mA current signal into 0-5V or 0-10V voltage signal. See the circuit diagram below:
Connection:
Select the A input port: connect A+ and RA together, connect an external 4-20mA current input signal, and connect the A- terminal to the PLC common point M. A input port is set to 0~20mA current input mode.
The analog output port uses voltage output port V0, its M0 port is connected to the common terminal M, and the output port is set to voltage output mode: 0~10V (or 0~5V).
2.Use a signal converter
The signal converter converts the DC current or voltage signals of various devices on the site into the required DC signals for isolation and transmission and then outputs them to other instruments. The signal isolator can effectively eliminate ground return. Solve the problems of industrial field interference and signal conversion, transmission, and matching.
It is widely used in data acquisition, signal transmission and conversion, PLC, DCS, and other industrial measurement and control systems in electrical, power, telecommunications, steel, petrochemical, sewage treatment, environmental protection engineering, aerospace, building automation, and other fields. It is used to complete and supplement the system simulation I/O plug-in function. Increase The applicability of the system and the reliability of the on-site environment.

The installation is convenient and quick, and the non-destructive installation is truly realized.
Clamp on Flow Meter Reference price: USD 470.00/pc
Sino-Inst offers a variety of Ultrasonic flow meters for flow measurement. If you have any questions, please contact our sales engineers.
The clamp on ultrasonic flowmeter is convenient to carry, easy to operate, intuitive to read data, and can memorize and save the read data;
The measurement liquid is relatively wide, including water, sea water, slurry or oil, acid and alkali and other homogeneous liquids;
Non-contact measurement method, light weight, small size;
The installation of the clamp-on ultrasonic flowmeter probe is simple, and probes of different sizes can detect pipes of different pipe diameters. Under the condition of ensuring accuracy, the clamp-on ultrasonic flowmeter can measure pipes with a minimum of DN15 and a maximum of DN3000. Pipeline
The external clamp ultrasonic flowmeter does not need to destroy the pipeline during the flow measurement process, and the probe can directly touch the straight pipe section without pressure loss, and the flow measurement can be performed on the installed pipe;
Suitable for measuring pipes of different materials. Common metal pipes (stainless steel, carbon steel, cast iron, etc.), plastic pipes, etc., and some pipes with better sound-transmitting materials.
Because the temperature of the measured liquid is limited by the temperature resistance of the coupling material between the ultrasonic probe and the pipe, and the original data of the sound transmission velocity of the measured liquid at high temperature is incomplete. At present, the general ultrasonic flowmeter can only be used to measure the fluid below 200 ℃.
The measurement circuit of ultrasonic flowmeter is more complicated than that of general flowmeter. This is because the flow velocity of liquid in general industrial measurement is often a few meters per second, and the propagation speed of sound waves in the liquid is about 1500 m/s.
Therefore, the change of the measured fluid velocity (flow) has the greatest impact on the change of sound velocity, which is also on the order of 10-3. If the accuracy of measuring the flow velocity is required to be 1%, the accuracy of the measurement of the speed of sound needs to be 10-5~10-6 orders of magnitude. Therefore, a complete measurement circuit can be achieved.
This is the reason why ultrasonic flowmeters can only be applied in practice only under the premise of the rapid development of integrated circuit technology.
The measurement accuracy is not high enough. At present, the accuracy level of our ultrasonic flowmeters is generally level 1 or lower. Ultrasonic flow meters are greatly affected by external conditions. For example, high electric and magnetic fields near the measuring pipeline will affect the measurement of the ultrasonic flowmeter.
The portable ultrasonic flowmeter ( Model: 3000H) uses a non-invasive sensor to measure liquid flow. The installation process is extremely simple. There is no need to destroy the pipeline during the measurement process and no need to stop production. The sensor is not in contact with the measured medium. Battery powered, small size, light weight and easy to carry. Realize the real sense of mobile flow measurement, online detection, is a real sense of portable ultrasonic flowmeter.
Handheld Ultrasonic Flow Meter
Handheld Ultrasonic Flow Meter ( Model:2000H) has been successfully applied to measurement work in various industries. The measuring range is 20-6000mm (0.5-20 inches). A non-contact measurement method is adopted. Flexible operation and easy to carry. Conductive or non-conductive, corrosive or non-corrosive liquids can be measured. Various fluids: water, pure water, sewage, sea water, chemical fluids, river water, fuel Oil etc. can be measured.
Clamp on Ultrasonic Flow Meter ( Model: 3000S) is composed of a host and an external clamp sensor. The flow measurement of various liquids can be completed by simply sticking the external clamp sensor on the surface of the pipeline. Compared with the traditional flowmeter, it does not need to cut off the pipe and flow, the installation is convenient and quick, and it truly realizes the lossless installation. Compared with the common TDC algorithm of other manufacturers, TGA measurement technology is an algorithm for measuring process time with higher speed and higher accuracy.
Clamp on liquid flow meter
The external clamp ultrasonic flowmeter can measure the flow rate of a single uniform liquid that can conduct ultrasonic waves, such as water, sea water, sewage, acid and alkali, alcohol, beer, various oils, etc.
Clamp on water flow meter refers to the use of external clamp-on ultrasonic flow meters to measure water flow. Especially when other flow meters are not applicable.
For example, the flow measurement of ultrapure water equipment only uses an external clamp-type ultrasonic flowmeter. why?
Ultra-pure water is non-conductive and has extremely high hygiene requirements, so the clamp-on ultrasonic flowmeter is the first choice. The general contact measurement and conductive medium measurement methods will be excluded. Let’s analyze it in detail below.
First, let’s take a look at the physical characteristics of pure water and ultrapure water. The filter cartridge of the ultra-clean filter device is made of pure polypropylene, and activated carbon is used to remove inorganic and organic trace pollution of ion exchange resin (nuclear grade) and adsorber resin. Dedicated ion exchange resin (nuclear grade) removes inorganic ions. After the adsorber resin removes dissolved organic matter. The pore size of the disinfection filter is 0.2um. The conductivity of pure water and ultrapure water obtained through such purification equipment: 0.055uS/cm. Bacteria content: 1CFU/ml, generally used in fields with high requirements such as biopharmaceuticals.
Secondly, we look at the application conditions of various flow meters.
In addition to measuring the volume flow of general conductive liquids, the electromagnetic flowmeter can also be used to measure the volume flow of strong corrosive liquids such as strong acids and alkalis and uniform liquid-solid two-phase suspension liquids such as mud, mineral pulp, and paper pulp. Since the conductivity of pure water is only 0.055, it cannot be measured.
Look at the turbine flowmeter again. Turbine flowmeter is a contact measurement, and pure water and ultra-pure water have particularly high requirements for materials, so the main material must be 316L when manufacturing, and the use of sanitary clamp joints will increase the production cost immediately.
Clamp on water flow meter is a non-contact meter. It can not only measure the flow of medium with large pipe diameter, but also can be used to measure the medium that is not easy to touch and observe. Its measurement accuracy is very high, and it is almost free from the interference of various parameters of the measured medium. In particular, it can solve the flow measurement problems of strong corrosive, non-conductive, radioactive and flammable and explosive media that other instruments cannot.
In summary, the ultrasonic flowmeter is the best choice for the flow measurement of the purified water equipment in the ultrapure water system.
FAQ
The clamp-on flow meter is a flow meter with an external clamp-on flow sensor. Most flow meters are in-line pipe section mounts. The Clamp-on flow meter is a flow meter that only needs to be clamped on the outside of the pipe to measure the flow rate. This is important for many pipes that cannot be cut and bored.
The installation of the ultrasonic flow meter needs to be done according to the operating instructions of the ultrasonic. Because of different forms of ultrasonic flowmeter, the installation method is also different.
