How it works Working Principle
Flowmeter Structure
The basic structure of the temperature- and pressure-compensated gas turbine flowmeter is shown in the figure. It primarily consists of the meter body, rotor assembly (including front guide, middle guide, and rear guide), connecting base, and converter, among other components. 。
How it works
When the airflow enters the flowmeter, it first passes through the leading fluid element of the independent mechanism and accelerates. Under the influence of the fluid, the turbine blades—positioned at an angle to the flow direction—generate a rotational torque. Once this torque overcomes the resistance and frictional forces, the turbine begins to spin. At the point where all torques reach equilibrium, the turbine’s rotational speed stabilizes, and its speed becomes linearly proportional to the flow rate. As the rotating signal disk equipped with magnets periodically alters the sensor’s magnetic resistance, a voltage is induced across the sensor terminals—directly corresponding to the volumetric flow rate of the fluid.
The pulse signal from the flow meter. After being amplified and shaped by a preamplifier, this signal—along with the pressure and temperature signals detected by the corresponding sensors—is simultaneously sent to the flow totalizer for processing, enabling direct display of both the standard volumetric flow rate and the cumulative standard volume.

Installation Requirements INSTALLATION
1. Installation Location
- Stay away from vibration sources (such as pumps, valves) and high-temperature areas to prevent turbine blade wear or metering drift.
- Select either the vertical or horizontal section of the pipe (when installing horizontally, ensure the flowmeter is level to prevent liquid buildup from interfering with turbine rotation).
2. Pipeline Conditions
- Ensure the pipeline is clean and free of impurities (such as welding slag or dust) before installation; it’s recommended to install a filter upstream of the flowmeter.
- The pipeline flange must be precisely aligned with the flowmeter flange to prevent misalignment and potential gas leaks.
3. Flow and Connectivity
- Install strictly according to the arrow markings on the flow meter housing, ensuring alignment with the actual gas flow direction. Reverse installation will result in inaccurate measurement.
- Use rigid connections (such as flange connections) to prevent vibration transmission caused by flexible hose connections.
4. Straight Pipe Sections Before and After
- A straight pipe section of at least 10 times the pipe diameter (10D) must be maintained upstream of the flowmeter, and a section of at least 5 times the pipe diameter (5D) should be kept downstream to minimize the impact of pipe turbulence on measurement accuracy (where D represents the pipe inner diameter).
