This study analyses a turbine flow meter in the context of a hydrogen compressor system. Basic concepts of turbine flow meter, accuracy and linearity, as well as calibration are described. Physical experimental testing scheme is presented in the paper. The viscosity of the fluid is one of the major factors that affect the performance of turbine flow meters. Numerical modelling experiments for different fluids with different viscosities are performed. Performed numerical modelling experiments give a possibility to continue research into the hydrogen compression system.
