Ask About Turbine Flow Meter (is it called axial turbine also?)

12/13/2010 11:39 PM

Hi, I'm Cindy, not engineering major.It's about turbine flow meter. well.. i searched from the internet about it. But I'm not really sure what I found. Here. I need to know about the ANSI or EZ-IN type. from the internet, i found cameron's. It showed me the different between flange or EZ-IN type. question: - If I bought EZ-IN type but I need a flange turbine flow. should I bought a flange? - about the size: is it true there are No such thing at Flanged turbine flow meter has 2" but Yes for EZ-IN turbine flow meters?? Thank you. :)

I think some turbine flow meters are built like a miniature water wheel and situated toward one side of the pipe they are measuring. This would be a tangential flow type.

If the flow meter is built like a small propeller inside the pipe, this would be axial flow. The Cameron picture looked like this.

The EZ-IN type is meant to be mounted between flanges on the ends of the inlet and outlet pipes, with a gap between to match the thickness of the meter. So yes, you would need a pair of flanges to go on the piping, with bolts long enough to bridge across the meter and through the two flanges.
