Explain the advantages and disadvantages of turbine flowmeter

2023-12-08
The advantages of turbine flowmeters mainly include
1. high precision: In all flow meters, turbine flow meters are the most accurate, measuring accuracy between +0.2% and +0.5%.

2. good repeatability: the repeatability of the turbine flowmeter is very good, for the same fluid, as long as the turbine is unchanged, its measurement results
It's always the same.
3. zero drift: turbine flow meter has good anti-interference ability, no zero drift.
4. wide range: the range of the turbine flowmeter is wide, usually up to 10:1, individual products can even reach 30:
5. compact structure: the structure of the turbine flowmeter is compact and light, easy to install and maintain, and the flow capacity is large.
A variety of output modes: The output of the turbine flowmeter can be 6 frequency pulses or digital signals to adapt to different application scenarios.

The disadvantages of turbine flowmeters mainly include

1. long-term maintenance calibration characteristics: turbine flowmeter in the use of the process, can not maintain long-term calibration characteristics.
2. the physical properties of the fluid have a great impact on the flow characteristics: the physical properties of the fluid (such as density, viscosity, etc.) have a great impact on the measurement results of the turbine flowmeter.
3. high requirements for the cleanliness of the medium: the turbine flow meter has high requirements for the cleanliness of the medium, and can not have impurities, bubbles, etc.
4. not suitable for rapid changes in flow rate: turbine flowmeter is not suitable for rapid changes in flow rate.

In general, turbine flowmeters have the advantages of high precision, good repeatability, strong anti-interference ability, wide range, compact structure, etc., but at the same time, there are also shortcomings such as unable to maintain calibration characteristics for a long time, high requirements for fluid physical properties, and not suitable for places where the flow rate changes rapidly. The selection of turbine flow timing must be comprehensively considered according to actual application scenarios and requirements.
