SERIES PFT PADDLEWHEEL FLOW SENSOR

The Series PFT Insertion Paddlewheel Flowmeters are used to monitor liquid flow rates in pipes from 1-1/2 to 40″ and is available in brass or 316 SS body. The unit outputs a frequency proportional pulsed or 4 to 20 mA output. The pulse models are a square wave output signal with frequency proportional to the flow velocity and the 4 to 20 mA models have a linear output of the velocity with 4 mA equal to 0 ft/s and 20 mA equal to 25 ft/s.

Product Applications

  • Irrigation
  • Ground water remediation
  • Cooling systems
  • Pump protection
  • Leak detection
  • Filtration systems

SERIES PFT PADDLEWHEEL FLOW SENSOR

The Dwyer Series-PFT Paddlewheel Flowmeters  are insertion-style sensors used to monitor liquid flow rates in pipes from 1-1/2″ to 40″ by outputting either a frequency proportional pulse or a 4 to 20 mA signal. They are designed for durability and versatility in water-based applications.

  • Long product life even in applications with particulate due to bearings and shaft that offer excellent wear protection
  • Use in irrigation applications with weatherproof and submersible ratings
  • Save time and inventory with one unit that is adjustable over a large pipe size range
  • Application versatility with a variety of wetted material selections
  • Reduce need for additional external components with integral 4-20 mA output
  • Eliminate concerns regarding magnetic material in flow due to sensor technology, which uses inductive sensing and no magnets
