The turbine flowmeters are on the market since 1925 and they have proved their worth in various applications, including the harsh ones in the Oil & Gas sector.

The turbine flowmeter Tecnova ht can operate at very high temperatures and pressures. It is intended for applications involving liquid, gaseous and cryogenic materials (never steam).

The flowmeters do not require maintenance and can be made of different materials, such as Carbon Steel, Stainless Steel, Duplex, Hastelloy.

The turbine flowmeter Tecnova ht brings many advantages and guarantees a refined mechanics and high precision with an immediate response time.

The turbine flowmeter calculates the flow rate of the fluid in relation to its speed: thanks to the thrust of the fluid, the rotation speed is linear to the flow. The coil is equipped with a permanent magnet and, once the passage of the blade is detected, the pick-up sends a pulse. The volume of the poured fluid is indicated by the total of the pulses. Their frequency also indicates the flow rate: Q = K * nmt

Q = volumetric flow rate
K = Constant of Proportionality of each turbine (k-factor)
Nmt = number of turns

The K constant, indicated on the meter body and on the calibration certificates, is calculated through the calibration of the flowmeter.

The flowmeters of the new AQ-Rate 300 series are instruments for measuring the mass of hydrocarbon and fuel oil in the liquid phase.

These flowmeters are provided with flanged connections splitting internally into two smaller tubes identical to one another and shaped like a V. Their resonance frequencies are induced in the opposite direction between them. At the passage of the fluid in the tubes, the input section of the V-shape starts vibrating at the same frequency of the output section, but with a time delta called mismatch. The magnitude of this mismatch is proportional to the mass flow through the tube, while the density of the liquid in question is given by the frequency of the complete system. It is also possible to obtain the volumetric measurement by dividing the mass flow for the density.

The meters of the AQ-Rate 300 series are equipped with integrated totaliser transmitter, replaceable by remote electronics for applications in harsh environments, high temperatures or strong vibrations.
