The aerospace industry has some of the most difficult operating conditions imaginable. Sensors of all kinds used in this industry must stand up to the environment and be able to perform under harsh conditions, fit in extremely tight spaces, and have electronics that can compensate for variable conditions in order to provide precise, repeatable results. In particular, flight instruments measuring fluid flow in aircraft fuel and hydraulic systems are required to operate over extreme temperature ranges, while enduring heavy vibration and shock, and withstand electromagnetic interference and voltage transients. And, as aerospace test environments become more severe (higher temperature, greater vibration) and test application requirements for measurement devices grow more stringent (smaller, lighter, more stable, higher accuracy), obtaining meaningful data can be challenging.

A turbine flowmeter translates and quantifies the mechanical action outputted by the turbine while rotating in the liquid flow meter around an axis. This data is usually measured in familiar units such as gallons per minute or liters per minute. Once the fluid is pumped into the flow meter, small propellers or blades on the turbine are activated, the rotor starts to spin, and then the data is recorded. When the rotational spin of the rotor maintains a consistent speed, the speed is proportional to the velocity of the fluid. Turbine flowmeters are frequently used in the measurement of natural gas and liquid flow. Because turbine flowmeters allow higher flow rates and less pressure loss than displacement meters, they are favored by large commercial users, fire protection devices, and many water distribution systems. How Turbine Flowmeters Work in Process Industry? Turbine flowmeters are a popular way of measuring liquid and natural gas flow. Also known as an axial turbin...
