The difference between turbine flow meter and magnetic flow meter
sales01@cxflowmeter.com
turbine flow meters and
electromagnetic flow meters are two common flow measurement devices for measuring liquids. They have some significant
differences in their principles, working methods and applications.
principle:
Turbine flow meter: Uses the rotation of a turbine to measure the speed of fluid flow. The turbine rotates in the fluid at a speed proportional to the velocity
of the fluid. By measuring the frequency or speed at which the turbine rotates, the flow rate of the fluid can be determined.
magnetic flow meter: Uses the Lorentz force principle to measure fluid flow. When a conductive liquid passes through a magnetic field, it exerts a
force transverse to the direction of the fluid and the magnetic field. By measuring the magnitude of this force the fluid flow rate can be determined.
Applicable fluid types:
Electromagnetic flow meter: Suitable for conductive liquids, including corrosive liquids, wastewater and slurries.
Precision and accuracy:
Turbine Flowmeter: Under the right conditions, turbine flowmeters can provide high precision and accuracy.
Electromagnetic flowmeter: Generally has high stability and accuracy, and can work well even in the presence of impurities or sediment.
Installation and maintenance:
Turbine flow meter: Relatively small and compact, relatively simple to install and relatively easy to maintain.
Mag flow meter: Typically larger, installation may require more space and work, and maintenance requirements may be higher.
cost:
Turbine flow meters: Generally less expensive.
Electromagnetic flowmeter: The cost can be relatively high, especially for large diameter applications.
