Turbine Flow Meter | Aluminum Alloy Body | For Diesel, Oil & Liquid

This electronic turbine flow meter measures low-viscosity fluids. It works with diesel, kerosene, and gasoline. It's portable and has a clear digital display. This makes it useful for checking fuel use or dispensing liquids. The aluminum alloy body is both light and strong. Features and Benefits - Turbine-based measurement - Fluid goes through the meter and spins a rotor. A sensor then turns the rotation speed into an exact flow rate. - Aluminum alloy housing - The body is made from aluminum alloy. This makes the flow sensor light enough to carry. It also resists corrosion from fuels. - Accurate readings - It measures with a precision of ±1%. You can trust it to track fluid use for billing or inventory. - Clear LCD display - The screen shows the current flow amount and the total. It has a simple reset for new measurements. Applications - Refueling equipment - Track how much diesel fuel goes into vehicles, generators, or storage tanks. - Workshop fluid dispensing - Measure oil, antifreeze, or other compatible fluids when filling machinery or containers. - Water transfer monitoring - Use this digital turbine flow meter for non-drinking water systems to check flow volumes. Key Functions A flow meter is a device used to measure the volumetric or mass flow rate of a fluid. This Turbine Flow Meter, with its aluminium alloy body, is designed for precise measurement of liquid, oil, and diesel. It provides a digital display for clear readings. Flow meters are essential in many industries for monitoring processes, ensuring quality control, and managing resources by accurately quantifying fluid movement. This particular model is suitable for plumbing DIY supplies. Common Types of Flow Meters There are various types of flow meters, each suited to different applications and fluid types. This product, a Turbine Flow Meter, is one such type, specifically for liquids, oil, and diesel. Other common types include positive displacement meters, ultrasonic meters, electromagnetic meters, and vortex meters. The choice depends on factors like fluid viscosity, temperature, pressure, and required accuracy. Understanding the different types helps in selecting the right tool for specific measurement needs. Key Types & How They Work Flow meters work on different principles. This product is a Turbine Flow Meter. Turbine flow meters measure fluid flow by using the mechanical energy of the fluid to turn a rotor. The rotational speed of the rotor is directly proportional to the fluid velocity. Other types, such as positive displacement meters, divide the fluid into discrete volumes and count them. Ultrasonic meters use sound waves, while electromagnetic meters use Faraday's law of induction. Velocity-Based Meters Velocity-based meters determine flow by measuring the speed of the fluid. This Turbine Flow Meter is a velocity-based meter. As the fluid (liquid, oil, or diesel in this case) flows through the meter, it causes a turbine to rotate. The faster the fluid moves, the quicker the turbine spins. This rotational speed is then converted into a flow rate, displayed digitally. Another example of a velocity-based meter is an ultrasonic flow meter, which uses sound pulses to measure fluid speed. Differential Pressure (DP) Meters Differential pressure (DP) meters measure flow by creating a pressure drop across an obstruction in the flow path. This Turbine Flow Meter does not operate on the differential pressure principle. Examples of DP meters include orifice plates, Venturi tubes, and flow nozzles. The pressure difference across the obstruction is proportional to the square of the flow rate. These meters are widely used due to their simplicity and robustness, though they do introduce a pressure loss in the system.
