Accurate Liquid Turbine Flow Meters for Oil and Gas Applications

Chemical blending, custody transfer, and petroleum processing are just a few of the applications where precise liquid flow measurement is essential. To guarantee accurate and trustworthy measurements, high-accuracy liquid turbine flow meters are needed. Since it is so accurate and dependable, the liquid turbine meter has become very popular. This blog will go into greater detail about the Daniel 1500 Turbine meter.

Knowing How Turbine Meters Work

The purpose of a turbine meter is to gauge the volumetric flow rate of liquids moving through a pipeline. The force of the flowing liquid rotates a turbine rotor that is placed inside the flow stream. The electrical pickoffs on the meter body then transform the rotating speed of the liquid as it passes through the turbine meter into electrical signals. Accurate measurement is possible because the electrical frequency output is proportionate to the flow rate, with each pulse denoting a tiny incremental volume of flow.

Turbine Meter Characteristics

Several important factors determine turbine meter performance:

Linearity: Linearity quantifies the change in signal output over the nominal flow range of the meter. The nominal K-factor of the Daniel turbine meters indicates the number of pulses produced for a specific measured volume.

Repeatability: The ability of a meter to reliably display the same reading under the same flow conditions is known as repeatability. Excellent repeatability makes turbine meters—like the Daniel Liquid Turbine Meter—suitable for a range of applications.

Accuracy: Accuracy is usually reported as a percentage of the true volume for a given flow range and indicates how closely the meter depicts the actual flow. In certain situations, the Daniel Liquid Turbine Meter's exceptional accuracy exceeds its rated flow range accuracy.

Resolution: Usually measured by a single pulse, resolution is the smallest increment of total flow that can be individually identified. Because turbine meters have a high resolution by design, accurate measurements are possible.

Range: The ratio of greatest to minimum flow throughout which the designated linearity is preserved is known as range. Depending on the size of the meter and the necessary linearity, the Daniel Liquid Turbine Meter's standard range or turndown of 10:1 may be surpassed.

Excellent Precision for Applications Using Custody Transfer

Turbine flow meters perform exceptionally well in custody transfer applications where precise fluid measurement is essential for financial operations. The precise measurements needed for custody transfer in the petroleum industry are ensured by their high accuracy, sophisticated electronics, and pulse integrity. The Series 1500 Liquid Turbine Meters from Daniel Measurement and Control, which are specially made for custody transfer applications, offer remarkable accuracy and dependability, upholding integrity and confidence in financial transactions.

Conclusion: Daniel Flow Meters for Liquid Turbines

Turbine meters and electronic instrumentation are used in the Daniel Series 1200 and 1500 Liquid Turbine Flow Meter Systems to measure volumetric total flow and flow rate precisely. Every Daniel turbine meter has a precision turbine rotor assembly housed in a cylindrical casing. The rotor rotates at an angular velocity proportionate to the flow rate as fluid flows through the meter. The meter body has magnetic pickoffs that use the rotor's velocity to create pulsing voltage signals. For additional computations and visualization, these signals—which stand in for discrete volumes—are routed to flow and prover computers.

In the petroleum business, the Daniel 1500 Turbine meter is perfect for custody transfer applications. With a stainless-steel internal assembly, wide flow ranges, and sophisticated electronics for complete pulse integrity, they offer precise and dependable measurements.
