Turbine Flow Meter

Introduction to Pitambara Engineering Turbine Flow Meter

‘Pitambara Engineering’ Turbine Flow Meters are precision-engineered devices designed to measure the flow rate of liquids and gases with high accuracy and reliability. These flow meters work based on the principle of a turbine rotor that rotates in proportion to the velocity of the fluid passing through it. The rotational speed of the turbine is then converted into a flow rate, which can be displayed digitally or transmitted for further processing.

Key Features:

  1. High Accuracy: Provides precise measurements with typical accuracies of ±0.5% or better.
  2. Wide Flow Range: Capable of handling a broad range of flow rates, from low to high.
  3. Durable Construction: Built with robust materials to withstand high pressures, extreme temperatures, and challenging environments.
  4. Compact Design: Space-efficient and suitable for various industrial setups.
  5. Output Options: Supports analog, digital, or pulse outputs for seamless integration into control systems.

Working Principle:

  • As the fluid flows through the turbine flow meter, it passes over a rotor (turbine) mounted within the housing.
  • The velocity of the fluid causes the rotor to spin at a speed proportional to the flow rate.
  • Sensors, such as magnetic or optical sensors, detect the rotor’s rotation and convert it into electrical signals.
  • These signals are processed and displayed as flow rates, often in units such as liters per second or gallons per minute.

Applications:

  • Oil and Gas Industry: Measurement of hydrocarbons, natural gas, and refined fuels.
  • Water Treatment Plants: Monitoring and controlling water flow.
  • Pharmaceuticals: Ensuring accurate dosing and fluid control.
  • Food and Beverage Industry: Measuring liquid ingredients during production.
  • HVAC Systems: Monitoring coolant and heating fluid flow.

Pitambara Engineering emphasizes customization and supports a range of configurations to meet industry-specific requirements.

  • Precautions for installation
  • Applications
  • Features
  • During installation, tank shuld be completely empty.
  • There should be no objects which shall hinder the float.
  • Ensure that the float position inside the tank should be such that agitation on it will be minimum.
  • The position of mounting nozzle should be far away from the liquid fill pipe to protect the float from damage and faulty readings due to turbulence.
  • Ensure that tank structures / fittings do not come in the way of calibrated gauges boards
  • Instruments required- Welding machine, combination/crimping plier, spanner and adjustable.
  • Even with large changes in liquid density, the immersion of a large diameter float will change very little, thus density has little effect on accuracy.
  • Float systems are simple and easily understood.
  • Even if the primary requirement is the transmitted signal, local indicators can continue to operate, even on loss of power.
