Principle, structure
Turbine flowmeter is a type of velocity flowmeter. As shown in the figure below, a turbine is placed at the center of the pipeline, supported by bearings at both ends. When the fluid passes through the pipeline, it impacts the turbine blades, generating a driving torque on the turbine, causing it to overcome friction torque and fluid resistance torque and rotate. Within a certain flow range, the viscosity of the fluid medium and the rotational angular velocity of the turbine are proportional to the fluid flow velocity. Therefore, the fluid flow velocity can be obtained by the rotational angular velocity of the turbine, and the fluid flow rate through the pipeline can be calculated.
