Abstract: The liquid turbine meter accurately measures the total flow and/or flowrate of liquids in a piping system. This is accomplished by sensing the linear velocity of the fluid as it flows through the open cavities of the meter. The determination of the fluids linear velocity is done by the rotor which is supported within the meter housing and by design rotates at a velocity that is proportional to the velocity of the fluid flow. Since the linear velocity of the fluid flowing through a given open area is directly proportional to the volumetric flow rate, it follows that the rotational speed or RPM of the rotor is also directly proportional to the volumetric flow rate. Therefore, by electronically measuring the rotation of the turbine meter rotor, the flow of the fluid through the meter can be accurately determined.
