Gas Flow Totalizer and Controlling System Using Turbine Flow Meter

  • Abstract:
  • In many industries, gas is used as fuel or for different processes, and it's very important to measure how much gas is being used and control the flow to avoid waste, ensure safety, and maintain efficiency. This project is about creating a smart system that can do exactly that measure the gas flow and control it automatically using a device called a turbine flow meter .A turbine flow meter works by placing a small rotating blade (like a fan) inside the gas pipeline. When gas flows through, it spins the blade. The faster the gas flows, the faster the blade spins. A sensor counts how many times it spins, and this data is used to calculate two things: 1. Flow rate – how fast the gas is moving right now. 2. Total flow – how much gas has passed through in total (this is called the "totalizer"). This system uses a microcontroller (like an Arduino) to read the signals from the turbine flow meter. It calculates and displays the current gas flow and the total amount used on a screen. The user can see this information in real-time. But it doesn't stop there this system can also control the gas flow automatically. If the gas flow is too high or too low, the system can open or close a valve, or even shut off the supply to prevent accidents or gas wastage. It can also trigger alarms if something goes wrong, like a leak or sudden pressure drop .This kind of system is useful in many areas such as factories, chemical plants, gas stations, or even in large kitchens or laboratories anywhere that gas flow needs to be monitored and managed .By combining accurate measurement with smart control, this project helps improve safety, efficiency, and cost savings. It can also be expanded to support remote monitoring using IoT (Internet of Things) so you can check gas usage from a phone or computer. In short, this project builds a smart, automated, and reliable gas flow measurement and control system using a turbine flow meter making gas usage safer and more efficient.
