Turbine flowmeter The pickup probe converts the rotor velocity into an equivalent frequency signal. Variable reluctance pickup assemblies are the type most commonly used. In this system, the meter housing must be nonmagnetic, and so is usually stainless steel. The rotor must also be stainless steel. The pickup probe consists of a small, powerful permanent magnet
