The Sponsler Precision Turbine Flowmeter measures volume by a contour mounted turbine in the flow stream. The AC signal output is detected by a transducer and interpreted by various electronic devices used for flow rate indication and totalisation. Sponsler Precision Turbine Flowmeters are manufactured to handle problems of viscosity, corrosive media, extreme temperature, and hazardous materials. Its compact and rugged design has established a new criteria for flow measurement, meeting today's for higher accuracy and reliability under severe operating conditions.

Sponsler Precision Turbine Gas Flowmeters are designed to measure actual cubic feet or actual volume passing through the meter. Before sizing a flowmeter it is necessary to convert flow units (i.e. SCFM.LPM, etc.) to actual units. To convert to actual measured volume (ACFM)  from standard volume (SCFM) use the following formula:

 
ACFM = SCFM  X  14.7/Pa  X  Ta/530
 
Where:
ACFM   =   Actual cubic feet per minute measured gas flow.
SCFM   =   Standard cubic feet per minute gas flow.
Pa   =   Operating pressure in (PSIA)
    =   PSIG + 14.7
Ta   =   Temperature in degrees Rankine = F + 460
 
Note: For specific examples, consult supplier.
