Gas turbine flow meter

Gas turbine flow meter is a type of flow meter specifically designed to measure the flow rate of gases. 

1. Principle of Operation:

• Turbine Mechanism: The gas turbine flow meter operates based on the principle of a turbine rotor suspended in the gas flow stream.
• As the gas flows through the meter, it causes the turbine rotor to spin.
• Sensor Detection: Attached to the turbine rotor is a sensor that detects the rotational speed of the rotor.
• The speed of rotation is directly proportional to the velocity of the gas flowing through the meter.
• Flow Calculation: By measuring the rotational speed of the turbine rotor, the flow meter calculates the volumetric flow rate of the gas passing through it.

 2. Applications:

• Natural Gas Measurement: Widely used in the oil and gas industry for measuring natural gas flow in pipelines, distribution networks, and processing facilities.
• Industrial Processes: Used in industrial applications such as air separation units, chemical processing, power generation,

and HVAC systems where accurate gas flow measurement is critical for process control and efficiency.
