FT2 Turbine Flow Meter: Hall-Effect Detection
This multi-range radial flow turbine flow meter, the FT2 hall-effect turbine flow meter uses a low inertia turbine supported on robust sapphire bearings, in a chemically resistant housing. Nine flow ranges (0.05 to 160 litres per minute), a choice of “plug in” fittings and individual traceable calibration make this meter one of the most flexible available. This Turbine flow meter uses Hall Effect sensing so that opaque fluids may still be metered. For OEM applications the fittings can be tailored to suit the installation and speed up production. Custom leads or connectors are also available for quantity orders.

FT2 Turbine Flow Meter: Hall-Effect Detection
At the heart of the FT2 hall effect turbine flow meter is a precision turbine that rotates freely on robust sapphire bearings. This rotation is detected by a Hall Effect detector. The resulting output is a NPN pulse that is readily interfaced with most electronic display or recording devices. This combination of materials and technology ensures a long life product with reliable operation throughout. Because this hall effect turbine flowmeter is so versatile with respect to flow range and fittings every combination of range and fitting is not available. The chart below shows the maximum standard flow rate/fitting we would recommend to attain our performance figures. Alternatives are possible but there would be degradation in the turbine flow meter’s performance.
