Is there a difference between a turbine flow machine and a rotor flowmeter?

Is there a difference between a turbine flow machine and a rotor flowmeter?

Answer:

Signal transduction differenceA rotor without electrical signals is a direct reading of the human eye. It is intuitive but not easy to record, and therefore inexpensive. The turbine is an electrical signal, must be converted to use, it is convenient to record, but because of the circuit, instrumentation and so on, it is usually higher prices.
A difference in appearanceThe rotor must have a transparent glass tube, and the turbine must also come with a check counter.
Difference in principleThe working principle of the turbine flowmeter is that the revolution (or speed) of the turbine has a single function relationship with the flow velocity, that is, the flow rate increases and the turbine revolution increases. Therefore, when the pipe diameter is determined, the flow velocity can be obtained if the turbine is known for a certain period of time (by counting), so that the flow rate can be obtained.The working principle of the flow meter: the higher the flow rate, the greater the buoyancy force, the greater the rotor rising height (depending on the diameter of the pipe to achieve).
Requirements on installation (difference)The turbine is usually horizontally installed, and the rotor must be vertically mounted
