Overview of turbine flowmeter classifications

There are many types of flow meters. Each type of flow meter can be divided in more detail according to its structure, measurement medium and application range. This article takes turbine flow meters as an example to see how it is divided. 

1. Classification by structure

1. Integrated turbine flowmeter: The structure of this flowmeter is relatively simple, and the transmitter and sensor are integrated In one piece, the one-piece design makes installation and maintenance relatively easy.

2. Split turbine flowmeter:Contrary to the integral type, the split turbine flowmeter separates the transmitter and sensor, making it easier for those turbine flowmeters to be installed at high altitudes. occasion. This design facilitates individual replacement or calibration of the transmitter, increasing flexibility of use.

2. Classification by measurement medium

1. Liquid turbine flowmeter: A turbine flowmeter specially used to measure liquid flow. Due to the viscosity and density characteristics of liquids, the design of a liquid turbine flowmeter needs to take these physical properties of the fluid into account to ensure measurement accuracy.

2. Gas turbine flow meter: A turbine flow meter used to measure gas flow. The design of a gas flow meter needs to take into account factors such as gas compressibility, temperature changes, and pressure changes to ensure the accuracy of measurement results.

3. Classification by application scope

1. High-temperature turbine flowmeter: Turbine flowmeters generally can only measure without special design media below 80℃. For temperatures exceeding this, a high-temperature turbine flowmeter must be selected, but the high-temperature type also has a time limit and cannot exceed 120°C.

2. Explosion-proof turbine flowmeter: It is used in harsh working environments to resist the problems that may be caused by explosive gases, steam or dust and other safety hazards. It must be equipped with Turbine flowmeter in explosion-proof design.

Turbine flowmeters are classified into various categories, each with its own characteristics. Users can choose the most suitable turbine flowmeter product based on actual working conditions, medium characteristics and measurement needs to ensure accurate and reliable data and effectively improve Work efficiency and economic benefits.
