PCT No. PCT/GB80/00123 Sec. 371 Date Mar. 25, 1981 Sec. 102(e) Date Mar. 25, 1981 PCT Filed Aug. 1, 1980 PCT Pub. No. WO81/00453 PCT Pub. Date Feb. 19, 1981.A turbine flow meter (1) of the kind in which a bladed rotor (14,53) is rotated by the flow about an axis lying in the general direction of the flow. The length of the blades (13, 54) does not exceed 0.3 of the radius to the blade tips, each blade being twisted over its length in proportion to its radius. The maximum twist is such that at no point is the angle relative to the rotational axis greater than fifteen degrees. No visible clear path exists through the area of the blades for the fluid. A force transducer (56, 57, 63) is mounted in the fluid flow path to enable a measurement of momentum to be provided so that in conjunction with a measure of the speed of rotation of the rotor, the mass flow rate of the fluid can be deduced.
