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.
