Meter, Turbine, 50GPM, 1", 7500#

The NuFloTM Liquid Turbine Flowmeter (Figure 1) is a rugged versatile sensor capable of handling a wide variety of liquids including many types of slurries and suspensions. The flowmeter contains a rotor secured to a tungsten carbide shaft. The shaft is supported at each end in tungsten carbide bearings. The rotor is made of a magnetic material, while the flowmeter body is non-magnetic. A magnetic pickup consisting of a magnet and coil is mounted externally in

the body in the same plane as the rotor. Fluid moving through the flowmeter causes the rotor to rotate at a speed proportional to the fluid velocity. The rotor blades cutting the magnetic field in the vicinity

of the magnetic pickup create a frequency signal proportional to the fluid velocity. This signal is used to represent flow rate and can be accumulated to totalize the volume of liquid through the flowmeter.
