Turbine Flow Meter Explained | Operation and Calibration

[@ericmarcelo8976]

Information-wise, it's a very good video; well explained and easy to follow. There's just one thing wrong with it. The turbine is rotating in the wrong direction. If flow seems to be from left to right. If so, your turbine should spin in the other direction from that shown.

[@HabibNO]

Hi, Thanks for your informative video! Please explain, what are the 3 cables used for. What kind of logger matches this type of flow meter with 3 wires? Oscilloscope logger?

[@realpars]

Hello HabibNO, Thank you for your question. I am assuming the 3 cables you are referring to are the 3 wires coming from the sensor. These wires bring the voltage to the sensor for it to work. One wire is positive. Normally, the brown wire depends on the manufacturer and where it is made. The common wire can be a blue or pink color, again depending on the standards used to manufacture the sensor, and the signal wire that comes out of the sensor can be the black wire, which is the output signal voltage to your measuring device. As we mentioned in our video, you can use a measuring device that meets your electrical and Engineering requirements. We showed you a Hertz meter and a Siemens PLC. Whatever meets your requirements. Here is a link to an international company you might want to learn more about flow meters in your part of the world for more technical information. Happy learning! www.us.endress.com/en/field-instruments-overview

[@jonwatson9765]

Laminar flow? The purpose of straight pipe and, often, the tubes or vanes used to suspend the rotor is to avoid swirl. K factor does change with flow rate but it has been common for decades to use curve fitting to compensate for this non linearity as much as possible. Yes viscosity is a factor with straight blade rotors but higher tolerance with helical blades ( faure Herman) Then too calibration can be compensated for using inline viscometers (Smith Meters). One key factor is the response to a step change in flow rate can be measured in milliseconds. This fast response is key in some applications such as 'snap testing" jet engines.

[@realpars]

Hi Jon, Good stuff. Thanks for the input!

[@InstrumentCalibration]

Can the flowmeter be adjusted by changing K factor ?

[@realpars]

Hi there. Having a different K factor will certainly change flowmeter characteristics. Unfortunately, the K factor is an inherent characteristic of each individual turbine flowmeter and cannot be adjusted.

[@InstrumentCalibration]

@@realpars That's good to know..Thanks

[@erickontiveroslara209]

Super! This is so good. I do not really know, but I guess turbine flow metters are often used in some filling machines. One interesting aplication I've heard of is using the measere of flow in order to determine the weight of the liquid with wich bottles are filled, ¿how accurate and reliable is that speaking in terms of the different viscosity and temperature of fluids?

[@realpars]

Hi Erick. Turbine flowmeters are used in many applications, and perhaps filling machines as you suggest. I’m not familiar with flow measurement to determine weight. As we mention in the video, viscosity is certainly an issue with turbine flowmeters. On another note, the Coriolis mass flowmeter can be used to determine density as well as flow rate.

[@jonwatson9765]

Or you can use the turbine meter with s density meter.

[@mohammedabuqunaydah5942]

So when calibrating flowmeters,shall I change the K factor? and how to calculate the new K factor?

[@realpars]

Hi. Thanks for your question. The K Factor is unique to the flowmeter and is determined at the time of production by the manufacturer. The meter K Factor will be included with your documentation when the meter is purchased.

[@mohammedabuqunaydah5942]

@@realpars I do have the K factor but when testing the meter I got higher error ,so should I correct the factor?

Hi @Kazim Abdul Hafeez. Thanks for your kudos and question. Turbine flowmeters are unidirectional. Some flowmeters have a flow direction arrow printed on their side.

can i get K factor calculation?

[@realpars]

Hello. Thank you for your question. You should always reference the user manual and spec sheets. All the user information and calculation formulas or tables should be included, or a reference should be made to the manufacturer's website. These devices follow the standard calculations based on the application engineering formulas. Happy learning from RealPars!

[@ydoom1able]

I have 2" turbine meter, but I did not have it's k-factor! how I can find it's k-factor

[@realpars]

Hi there. Thanks for the question. Finding the k-factor of an existing turbine flowmeter is possible, but not easy. As we discussed in the video, k-factor is pulses per gallon. If you are able to move a known volume of liquid through the turbine meter, it's possible to determine the k-factor. You need a device that can measure the pulse generated from the turbine meter. You need to pump the known volume, (let's say in gallons), through the meter and record the number of pulses. The k-factor can be calculated using the pulses per gallon relationship. Testing to verify would be required afterwards of course.
