Turbine meters have been used for flow measurement for over 60 years. Turbine meters are used to measure both gases and liquids. Well made turbine meters can provide accurate and repeatable flow measurement. The relationship between flow and turbine meter performance has been well studied resulting in many different turbine meter designs and methods of calculating flow.

Turbine meter performance can be adversely affected if debris damages or alters the shape of the blades. Dirty or damaged turbine bearings can affect flow measurement, especially if the turbine meter is being operated at the low end of its operating range.

Meters from the following manufacturers have been calibrated and/or tested by CEESI:

• Daniel
• Instromet
• Hoffer
• Flow Technology
• Cox
• ITT Barton
• American Meter
• Sensus
• Quantum Dynamics
