Product Description

Electronet series FL-100 are Two Wire Turbine Flow Transmitters specially used for various industrial applications. The flowing media engages a vaned rotor causing it to rotate at an angular velocity proportional to flow rate. The pick-up coil senses the spinning motion of the rotor inside the pipe & converts it into a pulsating electrical signal. Summation of the pulsating electrical signal is directly related to the total flow.

The frequency is linearly proportional to flow rate which is converted to electrical signal 4 - 20 mA. Turbine flow meters are preferred for clean, filtered, low viscosity fluids. The typical accuracy and repeatability of turbine flow meters are 0.5% and 0.1%, respectively. However, it is possible to achieve accuracy of 0.25% and repeatability of 0.05%.

Turbine flow meters are inherently sensitive to Reynolds number. They will not be linear at Reynolds numbers nearing or in the laminar region. Therefore, they should be carefully used in the case of fluids with a broad temperature and viscosity range such as some oils. It is not a problem at constant conditions, but is often hard to achieve practically.
