Turbine flow meter | Flow measurement
•Turbine flowmeters
use the mechanical energy of the fluid to rotate a “pinwheel” (rotor) in the
flow stream. Blades on the rotor are angled to transform energy from the flow
stream into rotational energy. The rotor shaft spins on bearings.
•When the fluid moves
faster, the rotor spins proportionally faster. Turbine flowmeters now
constitute 7% of the world market.
•Operation in limited
range of temperature (upto 60 deg C). High temperature
may damage the flow meter.

Piping & Instrumentation Diagram
•Process
flow diagrams (PFDs) are used in chemical and process engineering. These
diagrams show the flow of chemicals and the equipment involved in the process.
Generally, a Process Flow Diagram shows only the major equipment and doesn't
show details. PFDs are used for visitor information and new employee training.
•A Process
and Instrument Drawing (P&ID) includes more details than a PFD. It includes
major and minor flows, control loops and instrumentation. P&ID is sometimes
referred to as a Piping and Instrumentation Drawing. These diagrams are also
called flowsheets. P&IDs are used by process technicians and instrument and
electrical, mechanical, safety, and engineering personnel.
•Piping
and instrumentation diagram (P&ID): A diagram which shows
the interconnection of process equipment and the instrumentation used to
control the process.
•In both
diagrams arrows show the flow of material and symbols show tanks, valves, and
other equipment. The symbols used vary somewhat from organization to
organization. So you may see several different symbols that all represent a
motor.
P&ID symbols is provided below:
