Description:
Paddle Wheel Sensors - Flow Meters has a velocity sensing of 0.7 ft/sec to 20 ft/sec. This type of sensor has a paddlewheel that is placed directly in the fluid flow so that it can rotate freely as the fluid passes it. Each paddle or web of the paddlewheel has a magnet mounted in it so that a sinusoidal waveform is produced when it passes the detector mounted in the head of the sensor. The faster the fluid flows past it, the faster the paddle wheel rotates. It is designed to be inserted into the pipe fitting. It is used to accurately measure and dispense preset volumes of water or other chemicals. It measures the amount of water dispensed. Crystal Engineers offers paddle wheel sensors-flow meters. The specifications range from 200 mm diameter to 600 mm diameter. The company has both hot and retrofit type assembly systems.
