Abstract
Turbine-type flowmetering devices are applied worldwide to the measurement and control of liquid products in the industrial, chemical, and petroleum m arketplaces. Significant advantages associated with the use of turbine flow meters, in lieu of other metering principles, make increased future use ine vitable. Newcomers to the field of flow measurement should become familiar with the fundamental characteristics and conditions surrounding the turbine flowmeter in order to better understand its usage. Consequently, this arti cle is provided as a brief guide to the operation and application of turbin e flowmeters for liquid product measurement.
