There are several types of flow meters used to measure the flow profile of a fluid. They are; turbine flow meters, ultrasonic flow meters, magnetic flow meters, Coriolis flow meters and target flow meters. To prolong the service life and high accuracy of a flow meter, the causes of its problems should be determined. The first step in the troubleshooting process is to make certain it is properly selected and installed (Figure 1).rnTurbine Flow Meter. These are inferential meters used in measuring both gas and oil flow rate. In a turbine flow meter, a rotor is placed in the flow path. When a fluid flows through a turbine, it causes the turbine rotor to rotate with an angular velocity that is proportional to the flow rate.
