Product Description
FLOWTECH Measuring Instruments Private Limited the top manufacturer, exporter and supplier of Turbine Flow Meter since last 18 years and known for its high reliability and repeatable measurements under the most demanding conditions. This flow meter is employed for both lower viscosity gases and liquids. It is used for volumetric total flow and/or flow rate measurement and has a relatively simple theory of operation.
A turbine flow meter is constructed with rotor and blades which uses the mechanical energy of the fluid to rotate the rotor in the flow stream. Due to the standard magnetic tape the turbine experiences too much extra drag at low fluid velocities. These meters are in service worldwide as a reliable, cost-effective method for achieving accurate flow measurement.
