How it improves performance
The Nuflo? liquid turbine flowmeter was developed in 1957, featuring a tungsten carbide shaft and bearing to withstand the rugged conditions of the oil field. Over the years, it has earned an unsurpassed reputation for withstanding severe punishment while maintaining operational and measurement integrity. Today, it remains the industry standard for turbine meters in liquid measurement applications.
How it works
The flowmeter indicates flow rate and measures the total throughput of a liquid line. As liquid flows through the meter and over its rotor, the rotor turns at a speed that is directly proportional to the flow rate. A magnetic pickup senses the movement of the rotor blades and generates an electrical (sine wave) signal, which is transmitted to the flow measurement readout equipment.
