Why Choose A Paddlewheel Style
Cost-effective and tried measurement of pipes ½” to 12” pipes
Principles Of Operation
- As the flow of the liquid passes the paddlewheel, a signal is generated
- The frequency generated by the magnet and internal electronics are in direct proportion to the velocity of the fluid
- The output signal is transmitted to the monitor/transmitter
Considerations
- Paddlewheels are insertion type sensors and must be in a pipe that is full of liquid to ensure accuracy
Paddlewheel Flow Sensor Options:
515 – Plastic Sensor – no power required
525 – Metal Sensor – no power required, great for high temperature & high-pressure applications.
2536 -Plastic Sensor – a wide range of applications, a great starting point
2537 – Plastic (Blind)
2540 – Stainless Sensor – For higher temperature and pressure applications, can be wet tap style.
