Simplicity, in both operation and installation, make this durable, economically priced paddle wheel flow meter popular. Widely accepted in fields such as irrigation, aquaculture, aquariums, koi ponds, paper mills and swimming pools. A complete range of adapters in both size and pipe schedules allows the same meter to be fitted to pipes ranging in size from ½” to 8”. Read more on the different adapters here.

An economically priced paddle wheel flow meter with Remote Display designed for use in various water monitoring fields. These meters have found widespread use in applications such as agricultural irrigation, aquaculture, paper mills, aquariums, koi ponds and swimming pools to name just a few. This remote display series of meters are utilized when the sensor location isn’t easily accessible or viewable. A cable, up to 15` in length, separates the display from the sensor allowing the display unit to be mounted at eye level. The sensor assembly is waterproof, the remote display unit is sealed, however it can not be mounted underwater or in direct sunlight.

Pulse output flow sensor, when used in conjunction with the appropriate adapter, can monitor flows in pipes ranging in size from ½” to 8”. Paddle wheel flow meters are universally accepted as a means of measuring flow electronically. Wide range in flow rates, negligible head-loss and good accuracy at a reasonable price continue to make these meters popular. Easy removal for cleaning and repair permit the sensor to be mounted in lines with moderate particulate levels. The paddle wheel, spinning at a rate linearly proportional to the velocity of the flow, activates a switch once per revolution. The time it takes the paddle to rotate, divided into the diameter of the pipe, results in the flow rate. This meter consists of a switch that opens and closes once per revolution of the paddle wheel. A computer system capable of counting and timing must be used with this sensor.
