Here you can see the major components that make up one of our typical turbine flow meters.\u00a0 This includes the flow meter body, retaining ring, thrust ball, rotor and shaft assembly, sleeve ring and pick up.\u00a0 The rotor looks like a turbine. This is the mechanical part that will begin to rotate as the pressure from the flow acts on it\u2019s rotor blades. The faster the flow, the quicker the rotor will rotate.\u00a0 There is a permanent magnet that is hidden inside the rotor body. As the rotor rotates, so does the magnet rotates which in turn creates a magnetic field which also produces an AC voltage pulse in the pick-up (which is also a coil) and the frequency of this voltage is proportional to the flow velocity.\u00a0 The pulses are picked up by the electronic counter and a formula is applied to calculate the flow rate.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
