Abstract

In this study, the dynamic characteristics of a turbine-meter-type flowmeter is investigated by making use of the remote instantaneous flow rate measurement method (RIFM). The results of the frequency response test indicated that the gain of the flow rate of the turbine-meter-type flowmeter relative to the flow rate of the RIFM was nearly unity up to 40Hz and the phase lag of the flow rate became 90 degrees at 70Hz.
