Introduction to Turbine Flow Meter A turbine flow meter is a type of velocity-based flow measurement device. When fluid enters the meter, it strikes a multi-blade rotor, causing it to spin; the rotational speed is proportional to the average fluid velocity. A pickup coil detects pulses generated as the blades pass, and the meter uses a calibrated K-factor (pulses per unit volume) to calculate the instantaneous volumetric flow rate and total accumulated flow. Turbine flow meters are known for their **high accuracy (±0.25% to ±0.5% of reading)**, fast response, low pressure loss, and a wide turndown ratio of 10:1 to 20:1. They are ideal for **clean, low-viscosity** liquids or gases, such as refined fuels, aviation kerosene, light chemical solvents, and natural gas that has been filtered and dehydrated. However, they do have limitations: moving parts are subject to wear, performance is sensitive to fluid viscosity changes, (https://apureflowmeter.com/technologies/turbine-flow-meter-working-principle/ )and particles may cause jamming. Proper filtration and regular calibration are essential. For applications with clean fluids and stable flow conditions, turbine flow meters remain one of the most cost-effective options for trade measurement and process control.
