| The turbine flowmeter consists
of a multi-bladed rotor situated in the centre of a pipe through which
the liquid flows.
The angular velocity of the rotor is proportional to the flow rate of the liquid. The rotor blades are ferro-magnetic and induce an A C signal in a coil surrounding a magnet. The frequency and amplitude of this signal are proportional to the flow rate of the liquid. The AC signal could be
converted into pulses which can be counted and displayed by a digital system.
