[0002] Turbine flow meters are a major type of velocity flow meter. When the fluid being measured flows through a turbine flow meter, the impeller rotates under the action of the fluid. Its rotational speed is proportional to the average flow velocity in the pipe. At the same time, the blades periodically cut the magnetic lines of force generated by the electromagnet, changing the magnetic flux of the coil. According to the principle of electromagnetic induction, a pulsating potential signal, i.e. an electrical pulse signal, will be induced in the coil. The frequency of this electrical pulsation is proportional to the volumetric flow rate of the fluid being measured.

Based on the fluid's physical property parameter table, the density and viscosity are calculated. By calibrating the test bench and combining nonlinear fitting, a volumetric flow rate correction formula is constructed. The corrected volumetric flow rate is then multiplied by the density to obtain the mass flow rate of the fluid being measured. This invention allows for accurate measurement of the temperature, pressure, density, viscosity, and mass flow rate of the fluid being measured using a simple turbine flow meter, thus improving the turbine flow rate calculation capability.
