VT15 TURBOTRON

The SIKA turbine flow sensor type VTH15 is used for flow measurement and dosing in water and water mixtures.

» Hall effect or Inductive proximity sensor
» Pressure rating up to 300 bar
» For medium temperatures up to 150 °C

The liquid flowing into the turbine flow sensor is divided into partial jets by the blading. These hit the rotor uniformly from different directions and cause it to rotate. The speed of the rotor is now converted into an electrical pulse signal (frequency): The rotor is equipped with magnets, a Hall effect sensor detects the rotational movement.

A flow proportional frequency signal (square wave signal) is available. Due to the uniform flow to the bearing, the forces largely cancel each other out and wear is reduced to a minimum. The extremely hard bearing materials, sapphire and hard metal, also guarantee an exceptional service life.

Typical Applications
» Monitoring of cooling circuits in machine and plant construction
