Turbopulse Series Turbine Flowmeters

Turbopulse turbine flowmeters are precise, reliable and robust units designed for the volumetric flow measurement of clean low viscosity liquids.
  • Long life tungsten carbide bearings
  • 15 sizes from 15 to 500mm (½ to 20")
  • Wide variety of process connections: BSP / NTP male to 50mm (2") ANSI or DIN flanges Hygenic tri-clamp
  • Pressure to 250 bar (3675 psi)
  • Standard range of - 50~120°C (-58~250°F)
  • High Temperature option to 150°C (300°F)
  • +/- 0.5% linearity (10:1 turndown)

PA – Turbine Flowmeter Range

Our PA - Turbine Flow Meters have a unique open bearing design which allows the measured media to flow freely thru the bearings and therefore provides continuous lubrication. This prolongs the life time of the flow meter and allows for free flow of cleaning agents during CIP. This is why we can provide a full 5-year warranty on our whole turbine flow meter series.
