PROCESS, AND TEST & MEASUREMENT APPLICATIONS
Turbine flow meters are used in a wide variety of applications. Some examples are automotive and aerospace and test stands; subsea control systems; feedback and control systems on aero-derivative turbine generators; as well as general-purpose industrial flow measurements. A selectable range of bearings, end connections, calibrations, and electronics are available for this series making it the most versatile and capable of meeting a wide range of applications.
HIGH SHOCK LOAD APPLICATIONS
HS Series “high shock” turbine flowmeters are specifically designed to withstand pressure spikes that create hydraulic shock waves in fluids when actuators or rams are activated. This water hammer effect can dislodge the internals or sheer rotor blades off other turbine designs. The HS Series is based on providing a high level of accuracy, with added benefits of a ruggedized housing and reinforced rotor to eliminate potential damage from fluid shock.
SANITARY APPLICATIONS
Sanitary turbine flow meters provide accuracy, versatility, and economy in measuring a wide variety of dairy, food & beverage and pharmaceutical products. Durable sanitary turbine flow meter with a 316L SS smooth finish is designed to eliminate cracks and crevices where bacteria can breed.
LOW FLOW APPLICATIONS
The Omniflo® turbine flowmeters utilize a low frictional drag bearing in a tangential design, with a very low pressure drop (20mbar) allowing the measurement of very low flow rates in either liquid or gas. These high-resolution, low-flow sensing instruments are capable of measuring flow rates as low as 0.001 GPM in liquids and 0.0015 ACFM in gasses.
