Fluid flow through the meter impinges upon the turbine blades which are free to rotate about an axis along the center line of the turbine housing.

The pickoff\u2019s output frequency is proportional to the flow rate. In addition to its excellent rangeability, a major advantage of the turbine meter is that each electrical pulse is also proportional to a small incremental volume of flow. This incremental output is digital in form, and as such, can be totalized with a maximum error of one pulse regardless of the volume measured.<\/p>\n
The turbine meter and associated digital electronics form the basis of any liquid metering system. An expanding blade hanger assembly holds the turbine rotor in alignment with the fluid flow. The angle of the turbine blades to the stream governs the angular velocity and the output frequency of the meter. A sharper blade angle provides a higher frequency output. In general, the blade angle is held between 20\u00ba and 40\u00ba to the flow. Lower angles cause too low of an angular velocity and loss of repeatability, while larger angles cause excessive end thrust.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
