Operation

The Badger Meter Industrial Turbine is a volumetric liquid flow meter that works on the time proven principle of a rotor turning at an angular velocity proportional to the fluid velocity through the turbine. The meter has straightening vanes and a nose cone in the inlet side which minimize upstream turbulence and direct the flow to the rotor effectively. Electronic pickups generate signals from the rotor magnet. The signals are translated to an open collector-transistor pulse output. Mechanical pickups and electromechanical outputs are also available.

Applications

The Turbo model is used in a wide range of fluid applications covering from water to oils and solvents to acids. The meter is used in water treatment systems, loading and unloading of tankers or rail cars, batching systems, or simply inventory control of a process fluid. Anywhere high volume and/or high flow rates are at least sometimes required in the application, the Turbo meter is likely the right choice.
