MANUAL TME400-VCF · EN04 · 2019 March 26th

1.4. Areas of application

The following chapter provides handling instructions for the TME400 turbine meter for
the purpose of safe and reliable operation of the device.

Note

Some of the settings described below must not be made until you have read
the explanations in chapter4 Operation.

1.4.1.

Working principle of the TME400

The working principle of a mechanical turbine meter is based on the measurement of
the gas velocity of the flowing gas which powers a turbine wheel. The speed of the
turbine within the measuring range (Q

min

- Q

max

) is approximately proportional to the

mean gas velocity and thus the flow rate. The number of rotations, therefore, is a
measurement for the gas volume flowing through.
