The Trimec Flow Products PT Turbopulse turbine flowmeter series measure flows of low-viscosity liquids from 27 to 4500 L/min in a range of sizes from 1 to 4″ (25~100 mm).

The PT series have an axial rotor and flow guides. They need to be installed in straight sections of pipe either horizontal or vertical so that the flow is conditioned. They have Intrinsically Safe (I.S.) approvals and meters are available in flanged or threaded versions.

The meter series is robust and compact in the piping system. Applications include fuels, alcohols, solvents, insecticides, milk, chemicals, water and light hydraulic oils.

The basic construction of turbine flow meters includes a bladed turbine rotor which is axially suspended in the pipe. As the fluid flows through the pipe, it causes the rotor to spin on its axis at a speed which is proportional to the velocity of the fluid. The passage of each rotor is sensed by the turbine meter using gears, photoelectric cell or magnetic pickup installed on the outside of the flow tube or the meter body, adjacent to the perimeter of the rotor.

Other features include: wide flow range; certified Exd & I.S. hazardous area versions; quadrature pulse output option; integral or remote pre-amplifiers and flow instruments; ±0.15% custody transfer models available.
