The performance of a turbine flow meter can be affected by the viscosity of the fluid measured.
Our turbine flow meters are calibrated at between 18 and 26 cSt as standard (a mean viscosity
of 21 cSt), which is the typical kinematic viscosity for a hydraulic fluid operating at 50 °C. The
kinematic viscosity of all hydraulic fluids is related to the fluid temperature and the table below
shows the affect of temperature on the kinematic viscosity of a range of typical grades of
hydraulic oil.
The shaded area of the table shows the range of viscosities that can be measured by a flow
meter with standard calibration with minimal effect on the accuracy (less that ± 1% FS).
Flow meters can be specially calibrated at a different viscosity to the standard or we can advise
on the expected error when the flow meter is used at other viscosities, please contact sales
for further information.
