In operation, the float will rise to some position within the tube at
which such a force balance exists.

Turbine Flow-meter
Advantages:
Flow rates can be read directly without any secondary reading
devices,
Uniform scale over the range of the instrument,
Fixed pressure loss at all flow rates,
Many corrosive fluids may be handled without complication,
Capacity may be changed with relative ease by changing the float
and/or tube.
Disadvantages:
Meter must be installed vertically,
Float may not be visible when opaque fluids are used,
It cannot be used with liquids carrying large percentages of solids in
suspension,
For high pressures and temperatures, it is expensive.
