Fast response time and high resolution

The turbine wheel’s low moment of inertia allows a fast acceleration from standstill up to full

number of revolutions within 5 to 50 msec. For that reason rapidly rising flow rates and pulsating

flows may be detected. The resolution can amount to as much as 109,000 pulses per litre.

Wide temperature range from –273 up to +350°C

Standard turbine flow meters: –20 up to +120°C.

Special models for cryogenic liquids: –273°C

Special models with high-temperature pickups: up to +350°C

High Pressure Resistance and Low Pressure Drop

KEM turbines are available for pressures up to 630 bars and up to 4,000 bar using high-pressure

adapters or BASF high-pressure flanges. A major advantage over other flow meters can be

found in the low pressure drop figures. These depend on viscosity and turbine size and have to

be observed at very low working pressures only.

Resistant to contamination with solids

Turbine wheel and bearings are designed in a way that solids are flushed through the turbine

with the medium. Furthermore the twist of flow in this area has a self-cleaning effect preventing

solids from blocking the turbine.
