SIKA-Turbotron...

The turbine flow sensors of the product line Turbotron are sensors for flow rate measurement or dosing applications for liquids. Because of its especially compact design, the very wide measuring range and the convincing precision of measurement, almost unlimited application possibilities are given for this sensor type.

...with a realiable measuring principle
The liquid flowing into the Turbotron is divided by the guiding blades in four split beams. These hit the rotor from four directions and put it in motion. The uniform loading of bearing from four sides causes the forces to cancel themselves out for the most part and wear is reduced to a minimum. The extremely hard bearing materials, sapphire and hard metal ensure in addition an extraordinary life expectancy.
The rotor rotation rate is now converted into an electrical pulse signal (frequency):
The rotation of the rotor is either detected with a hall effect sensor or with an inductive proximity switch. In both cases, a flow-porportional frequency signal (square wave signal) is available.

... with convincing advantages

  • available in three diameters: DN 15, DN 25, DN 40
  • exspecially suitable and well-tried in various serial applications because of fixed pulse rate; therefore no individual adjustment of following electronics.
  • wide measuring range e.g. 1:20 universally usable.
  • high precision of measurement e.g. ± 0,5%, therefore reliable measured variables
  • high quality sapphire bearing, low abrasion and extremely long running period
  • special designed guiding blades ensure flow to rotor simultanously from four sides, thus tremendous reduction of wear
  • insensitive against pressure peaks, providing reliable measurement variables even under difficult conditons.
  • any position, can be versatiled installed
  • optionally with reinforced bearing for extended life expectancy, best suited for continuous operation and higher flows.
... flexible and perfectly equipped thanks to different types:
  • plastic, brass and stainless steel version
  • plug connector or fixed connecting cable
  • large assortment of connecting adapters
  • different types:
–flow transmitter with analog output
– with portable flow indicator for temporary local flow measurement
– turbine flow switch with switched output
– suitable for connection with external flow monitoring device
– suitable for connection with local display
