What Turbines, Inc. does
Turbines, Inc. (legal entity Turbines Incorporated, headquartered at 15935 Highway 283 N, Altus, Oklahoma) is a privately held U.S. manufacturer of precision flow measurement instrumentation serving industrial process, oil & gas, cryogenic, aerospace, food & beverage, agriculture, pharmaceutical and power generation customers. The company operates as a subsidiary of Primary Flow Signal, Inc., within a network that includes Turbinesinc-Odessa, LLC (Permian Basin service) and Primary Flow Signal Canada (Edmonton, Alberta). Founded in 1988, Turbines, Inc. claims more than 35 years of in-house manufacturing and engineering expertise and operates a fully-staffed R&D facility in Seneca, SC. Headcount is in the 51-100 range.
The product portfolio is built around three core measurement technologies — turbine flow meters (spinning rotor with magnetic pickup), Coriolis mass flow meters (no moving parts, direct mass and density), and differential pressure meters (Venturi, orifice, wedge) — spanning line sizes from 3/8" to 12", flow rates from 0.007 to 12,000 gpm, temperatures from -450°F to +850°F, and pressures up to 20,000 psi. Supporting the meters is a full electronics line (F Series, E Series, FML250, F103 monitors; TCE Coriolis transmitters; CDS1000/2000 cryogenic delivery systems; signal conditioners), a family of internal retrofit/refresh kits (TMK, HAK, WK, TMGK, TMCK, QCK), and in-house flow meter calibration services. Every meter ships with NIST-traceable calibration and a documented K-factor, and the portfolio carries an unusually broad certification stack (ATEX, IECEx, cCSAus, 3A Sanitary, OIML R81/R117, MID, NTEP, CTEP, CRN, CSA Class I Division 2, Handbook 44).
The business model is hardware-led with attached services. Revenue streams include new flow meter sales (quote-based, with 'Buy Online' for standard configurations), retrofit/replacement kits, calibration services, and on-site technical support. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; the standard motion is 'Request A Quote' for engineered solutions, with same-day shipping from inventory via UPS worldwide. The company runs a hybrid GTM combining a direct enterprise field-sales force (toll-free 1.800.809.1387, four regional offices, application guidance) with a self-serve e-commerce storefront and content-driven inbound marketing (data sheets, manuals, videos, technical articles). Customer retention is signaled at 75% repeat business, and the company will service competitor meters via its retrofit-kit product line.
