SERIES PFT Paddlewheel Flow Sensor

Description: The Series PFT Paddlewheel Flow Sensor is designed to accurately monitor liquid flow rates in pipes ranging from 1-1/2 to 40˝. Available in both brass and 316 SS body options, this sensor offers versatile wetted material choices to suit various applications. It outputs either a frequency proportional pulsed signal or a 4 to 20 mA linear output. With bearings and shafts providing excellent wear protection, the PFT sensor ensures long-term reliability, even in applications with particulate matter. Its weatherproof and submersible design makes it suitable for irrigation applications, while its non-magnetic sensing technology enables low flow rate monitoring without concerns about magnetic material interference.

Features:

  • Bearings and shafts offer excellent wear protection for long life.
  • Weatherproof and submersible rated for irrigation applications.
  • Adjustable over a large pipe size range, reducing the need for multiple units.
  • Multiple wetted material choices for application versatility.
  • Integral 4 to 20 mA output with no need for additional external components.
  • Non-magnetic sensing technology enables low flow rate monitoring without magnetic material concerns.

Applications:

  • Irrigation systems.
  • Groundwater remediation.
  • Cooling systems.
  • Pump protection.
  • Leak detection.
  • Filtration systems.
