WIRING OR HIGH PRESSURE HOT AND COLD WATER AND STEAM SYSTEMS,

applicable to you meter(s).
1.2 A TYPICAL INSERTION TURBINE FLOW METER
ONICON’s Insertion Turbine Flow Meters
measure the velocity of flowing liquids
by counting the frequency at which the
blades of a rotating turbine pass a fixed
electrode. Circuitry within the flow meter
electronics enclosure then converts the
rotational rate to digital and/or analog
signals which are transmitted via a
connecting cable to any of ONICON’s
display devices, BTU meters and/or a
data acquisition system.
