Working principle of the TME400

1.4.1.
The working principle of a mechanical turbine meter is based on the measurement of
the gas velocity of the flowing gas which powers a turbine wheel. The speed of the
turbine within the measuring range (Q - Q ) is approximately proportional to the
min max
mean gas velocity and thus the flow rate. The number of rotations, therefore, is a
measurement for the gas volume flowing through.
