Turbine Flow Meter is a volumetric measuring turbine type. The flowing fluid engages the rotor causing it to rotate at an angular velocity proportional to the fluid flow rate. The angular velocity of the rotor results in the generation of an electrical signal (AC sine wave type) in the pickup. The summation of the pulsing electrical signal is related directly to total flow. The frequency of the signal relates directly to flow rate. The vaned rotor is the only moving part of the flow meter. The Turbine flow meter (axial turbine) was invented by Reinhard Woltman and is an accurate and reliable flow meter for liquids and gases. It consists of a flow tube with end connections and a magnetic multi bladed free spinning rotor (impeller) mounted inside; in line with the flow. The rotor is supported by a shaft that rests on internally mounted supports. The Supports in Process Automatics Turbine Flow Meters are designed to also act as flow straighteners, stabilizing the flow and minimizing negative effects of turbulence. The Supports also house the unique open bearings; allowing for the measured media to lubricate the bushes – prolonging the flow meters life span. The Supports are fastened by locking rings (circlips) on each end.
