The Francis turbine is a type of
water turbine developed by James B.
Francis in Lowell, Massachusetts. It is FRMT - Face Mill Tools
an inward-flow reaction turbine that Face mills for productive machining
combines radial and axial of 3D surfaces, especially suitable
for blade surfaces in turbo
flow concepts. machinery and profile milling.

Francis turbines are the most
common water turbine in use today.
"The Francis design has been used
with head heights of from 3 to
600 meters, but it delivers its best
performance between 100 and 300
meters" and are used primarily for
electrical power production.
