Turbine Flow Meters Animation

Turbine flow meters use the rotation of a rotor within a flow tube to measure the flow of liquid. These are ideally suited for low viscosity liquids.

Turbine flow meters use the rotation of a rotor within a flow tube to translate the flow of liquid into a readable rate.

Turbine Flow MetersAdvantages of Turbine Flow MetersDisadvantages of Turbine Flow Meters

The rotation of a pinwheel (rotor) can be sensed mechanically, or magnetically. With magnetic sensors, the rotation of the turbine generates a “pulse” which is picked up by a sensor.

Turbine flow meters are ideally suited for low-viscosity liquids.
