The types of turbine flow meters
The first turbine flowmeter was invented by Reinhard Woltman way back in 1790. He came up with the idea in response to a need of studying loss of water flow velocity in open canals. Since then, the turbine flow meter has seen many innovations in terms of technology. However, the original design persists more or less and is still the preferred flow meter when it comes to measuring the flow of water in large quantities. It is known as the Woltman flow meter.
Later developments in the technology have resulted in the creation of eight different types of turbine flow meters. While some of the flowmeters have been named after the type of water wheels on which they are based, some others are named after the technology. Broadly speaking, following are the different types of turbine flow meters currently in use: Pelton Wheel, Paddle Wheel, Propeller, Woltman, Single Jet, Multi-jet, Compound turbine flow meters.
As a turbine flowmeter supplier, we can provide all kinds of turbine flowmeters.
