Mechanical Liquid Flow Sensor
|
Mechanical Liquid Flow Sensor Mechanical liquid flow sensors, such as turbine flow meters and vortex flow meters, are also common. Turbines measure flow based on rotating vanes on the unit, and vortex models create low pressure eddies in the current that is compared to regular liquid flow rate. Positive displacement flow meters also use rotating vanes like turbines, but the precision fitted rotors are instead installed at multiple points, and the volume of liquid that passes between them during certain intervals of time is recorded by counting the rotations of the vanes. |
