Sapphire bedded turbines

for serial applications
Durable and immune to interference!
Measuring principle
The liquid flowing into the turbine flow sensor is split into
individual jets by the guiding blade. These jets hit the rotor
evenly from different directions, setting the rotor in motion. The
rotation speed of the rotor is then converted to an electrical
pulse signal (frequency): The rotors are fitted with magnets
and a Hall effect sensor detects the rotation of the rotor. The
VTI series has stainless steel pins in the rotor. An inductive
proximity switch detects the rotor rotation.

Pipe section
In both cases, a flow-proportional frequency signal (squarewave signal) is made available.

Given the uniform inflow to the bearing, the forces largely
cancel themselves out and wear is reduced to a minimum.
The extremely hard bearing materials - sapphire and tungsten
carbide - also guarantee an exceptionally long endurance.

Turbotron VT series
The turbine flow sensors of the product line Turbotron are sensors for flow measurement or dosing applications for liquids.
Because of the very compact design, the very wide measuring range and the convincing precision of measurements, the Turbotron
has almost unlimited applications. Depending on the ordered version, the Turbotron is available with nominal diameters DN 15,
DN 20, DN 25 and DN 40.
Advantages
Universal application thanks to :
Fixed pulse rate, thus practically no serial deviation
Wide measuring range from 1:20 to 1:42 (depends on model),
therefore universally applicable
High degree of accuracy ensures reliable measurement
results
High quality sapphire bearing, low abrasion and extremely
long running period
Specially designed guiding blades ensures uniform flow to
the rotor from four sides, thus tremendous reduction of wear
Any position can be versatile installed
Permanent operating temperatures
up to 150 C (VTP version)
Compact dimensions
Proven in numerous OEM-applications
Service-friendly
Long endurance
Temperature measurement can be integrated (option)
Flexible and perfectly equipped

Thanks to different arrangements:
Plastic, brass and stainless steel types
Plug connector or fixed connecting cable
With reinforced bearings for extended life expectancy
Special bearings for low flow rates (option)

Turbine Flow Switch with switched output, Turbotron VE

Advantages
Very wide set point range, thus one flow switch suitable for
any applications
Type VT..15..VE
Fail safe (locked rotor is recognized as water lack)

Precise set point adjustment
Optical signaling by 2 LEDs, yellow = flow, red = flow lack
Safe monitoring of smallest volume flows
If you make exceptionally high requirements on monitoring

of liquid flow, the SIKA turbine flow switch will be the correct
selection.
Its areas of application: Monitoring of cooling circuits of highquality equipment like laser installations or HF generators.
It avoids costly consequential damages resulting from
overheating. A great number of different applications is
covered by a very simple and exact selection of the set point.
As an option, a pulse signal is also available in addition to the
switching output (contact). In such a case, in addition to safe
monitoring, a continuous or temporary measurement of the
flow (e.g. for adjustment jobs) can also be carried out.
The core of the turbine flow switch is the extremely durable

flow sensor SIKA-Turbotron which for years successfully
demonstrated its reliability in many mass applications.
It provides a flow-proportional frequency signal which is
introduced to a microprocessor. This monitors the adjusted
minimum flow and activates the electrically insulated alarm
contact in the case of dwindling flow.
Even a due blocking of the turbine system is clearly recognized
and reliably signaled. The adjustment of the set point can be
carried out very easy and precisely. By means of a 16-position
rotary switch (catching), the desired set point is selected.

Switching Transmitter, TU 7050

The TU 7050 is a two channel switching transmitter for use
with all Turbotron series flow sensors. Pulse signals from
flow sensors operate a dual set of galvanically insulated, dry
contacts which in turn, may be used to activate alarms. Set
point adjustments are allowed, in up to 16 increments, via a pair
of rotary switches set into the modules front panel. The rear
panel contains the DIN rail mounting assembly. Two selectable
modes are available:
Type TU 7050
Mode A
Two identical turbine flow sensors operate one set
point each.
Mode B
One turbine flow sensor operates a pair of alarm set
points (pre-alarm & main-alarm or min. & max.).
The TU 7050 provides a failsafe mechanism as any malfunction
of the flow sensor would immediately trigger the low flow alarm
setting. The set points are very easily adjusted via the very
visible, rotary dial settings and additional oversight is offered by
2 LED lights. The red LED will light in a no-flow condition and a
green LED indicates flow.

Stainless steel turbine with flanged or threaded connection

Series VTR
Extra robust, impressively precise
SIKAs VTR turbine flow sensor allows you to determine precisely, dependably and easily the flow rates of different liquids, such as
water and other low viscosity liquids, under the most severe conditions.
The VTR sensor is particularly robust and, due to thewide range of nominal diameters and five different pick-ups, can cope with
even the most severe conditions.
The characteristic variable is the K-factor (pulses per litre) which
is specific to each measuring unit, is determined by calibration
and specified on the name plate. A five point calibration report
can be supplied on request.
124
Measuring principle
The VTR sensor consists of the measuring turbine and a pickup mounted on the outside. The liquid flows into the measuring
turbine and causes the rotor to move. Due to the characteristic
internal diameter the speed of rotation is directly proportional
to the flow rate. The moving rotor blades are detected by the
pick-up and this is converted into a pulsed signal proportional
to the flow rate.
