Turbine flowmeters Pelton Wheel

Another type of turbine flowmeter is when the rotor's direction of rotation is not perpendicular to the direction of flow, but in the same direction. Examples of this type of turbine meter are paddle wheel and pelton wheel flow meters. Both flow meters are particularly suitable for liquids.

Pelton wheel technique

Pelton wheel flowmeters are usually constructed so that all liquid passes through the sensor housing. A pelton wheel flow meter is suitable for the measurement of small flows of non viscous liquids and can be constructed for high pressure applications.

Paddle wheel technique

The paddle wheel flowmeter is typically an instrument that is placed in small and large pipelines. The flow profile is an important factor in relation to the accuracy to be achieved.
