Solving Stable Flow Measurement for Clean Liquids
The PTF 125 Pulse Output Intelligent Turbine Flowmeter is designed for accurate and repeatable flow measurement of clean liquids in industrial process control applications.
Based on the torque balance principle, the turbine sensor converts fluid kinetic energy directly into rotational motion, producing a high-frequency pulse signal proportional to flow rate.
With a simple mechanical structure, fast dynamic response, and multiple signal output options, PTF 125 is widely used in water, oil, and light hydrocarbon measurement where stability and signal reliability are critical.

Flowmeter Turbine-Typical Applicable Media
PTF 125 is suitable for clean liquids compatible with stainless steel materials, including:
Water and demineralized water
Light oils and lubricants
Fuel oils and hydrocarbons
Other low-impurity industrial liquids
Note:
Free from fibers, particles, or solid impurities
Recommended viscosity ≤ 5 × 10⁻⁶ m²/s
Higher-viscosity liquids require calibration with the actual process fluid
Turbine Flowmeter-Working Principle
When the measured liquid flows through the turbine flow sensor, the impeller blades—mounted at a fixed angle to the flow direction—receive kinetic energy from the fluid.
As the impeller rotates, it reaches a stable speed once fluid driving torque, friction torque, and resistance torque are balanced. Under defined conditions, the rotational speed of the impeller is directly proportional to the average flow velocity inside the pipe.
Each rotation of the impeller periodically changes the magnetic field at the detection coil, generating an electrical pulse signal. After amplification and signal processing, the system outputs:
Pulse signal
4–20 mA analog signal
Instantaneous flow rate
Totalized flow
Within the calibrated flow range, the relationship between pulse frequency and flow rate is:
Within the calibrated flow range, the pulse frequency is directly proportional to the instantaneous flow rate:
Q = 3600 × F / K

Turbine flow meters perform best with low to medium viscosity liquids. As viscosity increases, fluid drag on the impeller rises, which can reduce rotational speed and impact accuracy. For higher-viscosity media, calibration using the actual process fluid is recommended to maintain reliable measurement.
The pulse output frequency is directly proportional to the instantaneous flow rate. Each pulse represents a fixed volumetric increment defined by the meter factor (K-value), making pulse output ideal for batching, totalizing, and PLC-based control systems.
Yes. Pulse output signals can typically be transmitted up to 300 meters, depending on wiring quality and electromagnetic environment. Proper grounding and shielded cables are recommended to ensure signal integrity in industrial installations.
Turbine flow meters must be installed in the correct flow direction and typically in horizontal pipelines. Incorrect orientation can affect impeller rotation stability, leading to inaccurate pulse output and reduced repeatability.
Turbine flow meters require clean liquids without fibers or solid particles. Particulates may damage the impeller or interfere with rotation, causing signal fluctuation or long-term wear.
Yes. Pulse output is widely used for instantaneous flow measurement, total flow accumulation, batching control, and system verification, making it highly compatible with PLC, DCS, and industrial automation systems.
