Can a turbine flow meter measure lubricating oil?

Time: 2024-07-29
Equipment Configuration:turbine flow meter

Turbine flow meters are generally suitable for measuring clean, low-viscosity liquids. For lubricants, whether a turbine flow meter can be used depends on the viscosity of the lubricant.

Project Overview

Turbine flowmeters are not very suitable for measuring high-viscosity fluids because high-viscosity liquids may increase resistance and affect the rotation of the turbine, thereby affecting measurement accuracy and the service life of the flowmeter.

If the viscosity of the lubricating oil is low and the usage environment and conditions meet the design requirements of the turbine flowmeter, it can be used. However, if the viscosity of the lubricating oil is too high or contains a lot of impurities, using a turbine flowmeter may not be the best choice. At this time, you may need to consider other types of flowmeters, such as gear flowmeters, which are more suitable for measuring high viscosity and Fluid containing certain impurities.
