Technical Guide April 2015 ™ Daniel Liquid Turbine Flow Meters Technical Guide Turbine Meter Theory The basic theory behind Daniel liquid turbine meters is relatively assembly holds the turbine rotor in alignment with the fluid simple. Fluid flow through the meter impinges upon the turbine flow. The angle of the turbine blades to the stream governs blades which are free to rotate about an axis along the center the angular velocity and the output frequency of the meter. line of the turbine housing. The angular (rotational) velocity of A sharper blade angle provides a higher frequency output. In the turbine rotor is directly proportional to the fluid velocity general, the blade angle is held between 20° and 40° to the through the turbine. These features make the turbine meter an flow. Lower angles cause too low of an angular velocity and loss ideal device for measuring flow rate. of repeatability, while larger angles cause excessive end thrust. The output of the meter is taken by an electrical pickoff(s) Flow Rate Is Proportional to Angular mounted on the meter body. The pickoff’s output frequency is proportional to the flow rate. In addition to its excellent Velocity rangeability, a major advantage of the turbine meter is that Figure 1 below is a cross section of the internals of a Daniel each electrical pulse is also proportional to a small incremental Series 1500 turbine meter. Flow through the turbine meter is volume
