Turbine Flowmeters

Each flow tube has its own K-factor (calibration factor). The K-factor is the number of pulses per liter of liquid going through the flowmeter. Each flow tube is factory calibrated and the K-factor is listed on the label attached to every flow tube. Typical values for the K-factor can be found on the respective product pages.

Accuracies of 99% can be achieved with our turbine flowmeters.

The repeatability of measurements is 99.85%.

The turbine flowmeters are used to measure low viscosity liquids. The recommended flow range, temperatures and pressures are listed on the respective product pages. If you want to make sure our flowmeters will work in your process conditions, feel free to contact one of engineers here for one-on-one support.

The flowmeters are tested with liquids; when using gasses we therefore cannot make any claims with respect to accuracy and longevity. 

Due to the use of fluoropolymers (PVDF and PFA) the flowmeters have excellent chemical resistance.

The reflection measurement used in the flowmeter means that opaque and colored liquids can be measured. And in the case a white opaque liquid is used, we can supply the flowmeter with a black turbine.

We always recommend using a filter in line before the flowmeter. Recommended pore sizes are 100 – 250 micron depending on the model. Particles that can pass through these pores are no problem for the flowmeter.

We have a Filter Disc with a pore size of 100 micron available in our shop which can be used in line before our flowmeters.

Reliable and accurate dosing of fertilizers and water play a key-role in agricultural production processes. We offer a range of flow measurement solutions for your industry that can help you meet your needs. Our flowmeters are an excellent solution to monitor and control various dosing processes of low viscous liquids for your water supply- and spraying systems.

On top of the applications discussed above, our flowmeters can support you in cleaning and disinfecting your water supply- and spraying systems. The material of construction of our flowmeters are resistant to disinfection liquids such as hydrogen peroxide or chlorides.

The medical devices industry includes various applications in which flow measurement and control is crucial. A dialysis system, for example, must be able to be cleaned quickly and easily after each run.

This applies to all sorts of medical devices and equipment that process (body)liquids, like urine, blood and plasma. Avoiding contamination and infection is of the essence. Our flowmeters are also used in production processes, such as dosing and filling liquids in ampoules or bottles.

The fast and easy exchange of the flow tubes reduces your process’ down-time to the minimum and avoids cross-contamination to guarantee safety of your patients.

Our flowmeters can support you in purifying water. We offer solutions for flow monitoring and dosing additives for your water treatment applications.

Automated dosing of additives requires accurate volume control in which our flowmeters show an outstanding performance. A need for such operations can be found in treatment of cooling towers (addition of biocides for example), desalination (reverse osmosis), waste water systems, and filtration systems (utra-pure water production).

The materials of construction we use for our flowmeters show high chemical resistance and hence can be used to clean and disinfect your water and filter systems perfectly.
