Technique

The Rotor blades sweep out the full bore of the meter except for a small tip clearance space . As the blade tips pass the magnetic pick up they initiate a pulse . Flow rate is determined by the frequency of the pulses and Totalised Flow is obtained by summing the pulses .

“ Fluidwell “ Totalisers , which sum the pulses automatically and display Flow Rate and Total Flow instantly on the readout , can be mounted on the Turbine or fitted remotely . Options include: linearisation, pulse/4-20 retransmit , batch control, RS comms, with various power options including 7 year Battery. (EEx ia versions available)
