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.
FEATURES
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
