9,999,990 (x10), or 99,999,900 (x100). All operations are easily accessed with the two buttons on the front panel. In a FLOMEC turbine meter, liquid flows through the turbine housing causing an internal rotor to spin. As the rotor spins, an electrical signal is generated in the pickup coil. This pulse data from the turbine is translated into calibrated flow units shown on the computer's display readout. -
