II. OPERATING PRINCIPLE
Turbine flow sensors measure the flow rate of hydraulic fluid and compatible liquids. As fluid flows through
the sensor it turns the turbine rotor, and as the turbine blades pass the magnetic pick-up a frequency
signal is generated. This frequency signal is proportional to the flow rate and can be transmitted to Flo-
tech’s digital displays or converted to an analog output. Optional sensors allow measurement of pressure
and temperature.
