Turbine Flow Meters
HM-F Flanged Turbine Flow Meter
The HM-F Series of turbine flow meters can handle low viscosity fluids flowing under extremely high pressure, such as hydraulic and fuel systems and offshore chemical injection systems. Best for use with hydraulic oil, fuel and other light oils when ANSI or tri-clamp flanges are required.
The HM-F series of turbine flow meters can handle low viscosity fluids flowing under extremely high pressure. They are best suited for use with hydraulic oil, fuel and other light oils when ANSI or tri-clamp flanges are required. The turbine wheel’s low moment of inertia allows a fast acceleration from standstill up to full number of revolutions within 5 to 50 milli-seconds, making dynamic measurements possible. This meter comes in twenty different flow ranges to meet your system requirements, from 0.26 to 2,641 gallons/minute.
Fast Response Time & High Resolution: The Turbine wheel’s low moment of inertia allows a fast acceleration from standstill up to full number of revolutions within 5 to 50 ms. For that reason, dynamic measurements can be made. The resolution can amount to as much as 3,000 pulses per liter.
Wide Temperature Range: -76 up to 662°F.
Low Contamination Risk :The spacing of the turbine wheel and bearing mount is wide enough to protect against particles in fluid jamming the turbine wheel. And the Twist of flow in this area has a self cleaning effect for the bearing.

The HM-F flanged turbine flow meter is used in offshore topsides methanol injection to accurately measure the flow rate of methanol being injected into the well. Installed in the topside infrastructure, the flanged design ensures secure and leak-free connections capable of withstanding the harsh offshore environment. This real-time data is crucial for precisely controlling the injection process, to prevent hydrate formation and maintain optimal well performance. The robust construction and high accuracy of the flanged turbine flow meter make it ideal for such critical applications in offshore oil and gas operations.
Industrial Cooling Systems
The HM-F turbine measures propylene glycol in cooling systems which acts as an antifreeze to protect from freezing during winter or when temperatures drop below 32°F. When added to a closed-loop HVAC system, the HM-F turbine measures the flow of glycol used to lower the water’s freezing point to between 0°F and -10°F. Accurate measurement helps prevent pipes from bursting, equipment from icing, and loss of performance in chillers, cooling towers, and chilled water distribution.
Commercial Fire Suppression Systems
In a building fire suppression system, a turbine flow meter ensures a reliable and accurate measurement of water flow to maintain the necessary pressure for sprinkler systems. The meter continuously monitors water supply, detecting any issues that could compromise the system’s readiness. Its precise measurement capabilities allow for correct billing and compliance with insurance regulations. The HM-F is ideal for large flow ranges, pressure containment, and wide temperature variations.
Produced Water in Oil-Water Separation
In the oil and gas sector, the HM-F turbine flow meter is used to monitor the flow of produced water, which is essential for effective water management and regulatory compliance. By providing precise flow data, the HM-F aids in optimizing the treatment process, ensuring that the water meets the required standards before being discharged, thereby protecting the environment and adhering to industry regulations. They also ensure proper billing for water disposal services and maintain accurate records for environmental reporting.
