Measurement Principle & Technical Description

Our two-blade monoblock impeller makes much of the difference. The helicoidal free running rotor lies axially in the meter body. Fluid flowing through the Heliflu TZN Flowmeters causes rotation at a speed directly proportional to the flow; each revolution corresponding to a precise and constant volume of throughput. Magnets mounted in the rotor induce electrical pulses in an adjacent pick-up coil. These are then processed by an electrical converter & displayed as a flow rate. A multi-blade turbine flowmeter is affected by viscosities due to the geometry of the blades. With a helical rotor, the flow velocity is parallel to the blade, whatever the position may be, - thanks to the length of the rotor, the flow profile is developed correctly, - the vortices at the end of the blade are minimized. The Heliflu Flowmeter has no sensitivity to density and a low sensitivity to viscosity.
R/R 0 = 0.7 R/R 0 = 0.2 R/R 0 = 1.0

Considering 3 relative radius of the blade as shown, and a flat, turbulent flow profile. - At each point of the blade, the relative velocity is parallel to the blade angle. - The flow around the helical blade is uniform and continuous. - The hydraulic load on the blade is homogeneous.

TZN
A commonly used method of presenting the data when a turbine meter is used in a wide range of operational viscosities is the 'Universal Curve'. This consists of a number of calibrations at various fluid viscosities which cover the range of interest. Data resulting from all the calibrations are presented as K-factor, Meter Factor or Error as a function of flowrate (or frequency) divided by kinematic viscosity. This ratio can be written Q/v.

High Accuracy Flowmeters

The HELIFLU TZN Flowmeters meet International measurement Standards. The HELIFLU TZN Flowmeters meet API Recommendations for Custody Transfer Applications. The HELIFLU TZN Flowmeter rangeability is higher than 10:1. The HELIFLU TZN Flowmeters cover a wide range from 0.1 to 1000 cSt.

Pressure Drop
Pressure drop across the HELIFLU TZN Flowmeters is approximately 3.6 PSI at maximum flowrate with a relative density of 1 (API gravity = 10) and a kinematic viscosity of 1 cSt. The pressure drop at any flowrate Q, for kinematic viscosity and relative density d can be calculated from :

Back Pressure
For non LPG fluids, the numerical value of the minimum absolute back pressure should be estimated from the equation: Pback 2 x P + 1.25 X P with: Pback : Back pressure P : Meter pressure drop at max. flowrate (+ Flow conditioner) Pv : Vapor pressure at Max. temperature Pressure drop through the meter is proportional to the square of the flowrate. For a constant inlet, there is a maximum flowrate at which a turbine meter can be operated within acceptable error limits before performance deteriorates. This is due to cavitation effects within the rotor assembly. It will be noted that the lowest pressure occurs within the rotor and it is here that the cavitation may occur. This will be indicated by a sudden change in meter factor and is more likely to occur with a vapour pressure fluid with a low system operating pressure. By experience, on the Heliflu TZN Flowmeters, the vertical position of the meter with flowrate from the bottom to top, do not create significant meter factor change. When the flow range is too great for one meter or its prover, a bank of meters can be installed in parallel. Each meter in the bank shall operate within its minimum and maximum flow rates.
