System Components

Why you “should” consider using turbine flowmeters!

Turbine Meter Advantages

Response Time

• Fast, dynamic response time
• Measured in milliseconds!
• Commonly used for rocket propulsion Shock, vibration & temp extremes. We pioneered the use of turbine flowmeters on cryogenic delivery trucks in the 1970s
• Suitable for installation on trucks subject to shock & vibration
• Subject to wide operating temperature extremes
• Our flow system is the “cash register” on many bulk delivery cryogenic trucks domestically and internationally Robust Design. Flowmeter “internals” were redesigned to meet “high shock” and “vibration” MIL standards for US Navy.
• Hoffer has supplied multiple-size turbine flowmeters built to meet MIL-STD-901D (shock-high impact) and MIL-STD-167-1 (vibration) for the US Navy.

Hoffer “Navy” version turbine flowmeter along with HIT-2A totalizer/rate indicator undergoing “shock” & vibration testing.

Navy Shock, Vibration & EMI Testing

Shipboard Applications include:

LPD Class Ships

HFC has supplied 1 1/2″ turbine flowmeters along with flowmeter signal conditioners (4 – 20 mA output) & rate indicators/totalizers for the LPD Class ship. Application is fuel supply for the main propulsion diesel engines.

LSD and DDG Class Ships

HFC has supplied 1/2″ & 3/4″ turbine flowmeters along with flowmeter signal conditioners(4 – 20 mA output) & rate indicators/totalizers for both classes of ships. Application is fuel supply for power generation.

DDG Class Ships

HFC has supplied flowmeters on both the supply and discharge sides of the reverse osmosis (R/O) system. The application is seawater on the supply side. Flowmeters are naval brass and monel. Discharge side flowmeters are standard 316 SS construction. The flow system enables the crew to determine the efficiency of the R/O system.
