Ruby bearings and a non-drag pick-off give these adjustable insertion flow sensors the widest flow range of any of the paddlewheel types. A Hall-effect device detects the passage of miniature magnets in the six rotor blades. The resulting square-wave signal can be sent hundreds of feet without a transmitter, over unshield cable. This signal can be connected directly to many PLCs and other controls without additional electronics.

A depth adjustment system allows two basic sizes to cover pipe sizes from 7.62 to 102 cm (3 to 40").

Compatible Meters:

  • DPF700
  • DPF70
  • DPF11
  • FC-21, 22

I do not know the F-Factor for my Flow meter. I have tried different Factors base on pipe size.

Asked by: Mackie
Thank you for your inquiry. Please email flow@dwyeromega.com and provide the construction of material being used along with the pipe diameter dimensions.
