The invention belongs to the technical field of flowmeters, and particularly relates to a gas turbine flowmeter and an application method thereof. The gas turbine flowmeter comprises a gas turbine flowmeter, wherein the gas turbine flowmeter comprises a working power supply, an overall power consumption external power supply, a pulse output mode, a power output, a RS485 communicator and a workingstate. The gas turbine flowmeter is a speed-type flow instrument capable of accurately measuring gas flow, has the advantages of simple and light structure, high metering accuracy, good repeatability,wide measurement range and the like, is convenient to install and maintain and is widely applied to measurement of various gases, such as natural gas, city gas, propane, butane, air and nitrogen in industrial field and departments such as petroleum, chemical engineering, metallurgy, aviation and scientific research. Since the gas turbine flowmeter is high in instrument accuracy and good in repeatability, the gas turbine flowmeter is applicable to trade metering and industrial process detection.
