BLADE FAILURE DETECTION
Turbine Meter blade failure check is accomplished by comparing the pulses from sensors on the turbine meter and turbine
monitor wheels or from two sensors on the turbine meter wheel. The ratio of pulses from the turbine meter sensor and
turbine monitor sensor is entered as the BR and is defined as the blade ratio.
