Titan Turbine Flow Meters
Turbine Flow Meters – for Flow Measurement Control
Titan’s own turbine flowmeter range is all based on the Pelton wheel technique. This well proven method is the ideal way of measuring low rates of flow of low viscosity liquids.
Their comprehensive ranges of radial flow turbine meters offer a selection of products for many differing types of application.
Some are suitable for chemical plant others, for the semi-conductor industry and others are ideal for drink dispense or beer monitoring equipment.
All have rugged bearings and excellent repeatability. The choice of fitting type reflects the function of the meter, some have simple hose barbs and others may be fitted with custom designed process connections to suit an OEM installation.
The Technology
Titan’s small turbine flowmeter range use a radial flow principle based on the Pelton wheel technique. This well proven method is the ideal way of measuring low rates of flow of low viscosity liquids.
For these mini flowmeters, a jet of fluid is directed at a turbine that is mounted on robust low friction sapphire bearings. The geometry of the turbine and the fluid chamber ensures that the rotational speed of the rotor is proportional to the flow rate through the device. The use of this radial arrangement allows more energy to be imparted into the turbine, so the bearing drag is far less important. Furthermore, because more energy is available the bearings themselves can be a lot stronger so increasing the life of the flowmeter. For larger flows, some of the liquid can bypass the turbine chamber, which then behaves as a “shunt” to the metered fluid. Accuracy is still maintained and the output remains linear.
