Why Do Turbine Flow Meters Dominate Certain Industries
Precision measurement matters in industries where a 1% error can cost $100,000 annually. Turbine meters solve this problem for specific fluid types. The primary advantage of turbine flow meters is their ±0.5% accuracy with clean liquids (viscosity <10 cSt) at competitive prices, while their major disadvantage is bearing wear from particulates (50-200ppm max). They offer […]
Why Choose Turbine Flow Meters for Industrial Applications?
Precision flow measurement drives efficiency in industries managing over $3 trillion in liquid products annually. Turbine meters deliver accuracy where it matters most. Turbine flow meters measure liquid flow rates by counting rotations of a freely spinning rotor, converting mechanical motion into electrical pulses (typically 1-10,000 Hz). Their ±0.5% accuracy and 20:1 turndown make them […]
How Does a Vortex Flow Meter Actually Work?
When fluid flows past an obstruction, it creates swirling patterns that reveal precise flow rates. This natural phenomenon powers over 2 million industrial vortex meters worldwide. The working principle of vortex flow meters is based on the von Kármán effect where alternating vortices shed from a bluff body at a frequency proportional to flow velocity. […]
