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.
