Paddle Wheel Flow meter
As the magnets in the blades spin past the sensor, the paddle wheel meter generates a frequency and voltage signal which is proportional to the Flow rate. The faster the flow the higher the frequency output.
The paddle wheel meter is designed to be inserted into a pipe fitting, either ‘in-line’ or insertion style. These are available with a wide range of Fittings styles, connection methods, and materials such as PVDF, polypropylene, and stainless steel. Similar to turbine meters, the paddle wheel meter requires a minimum run of straight pipe before and after the sensor.
- Low Power Operation
- Battery Operated Also Possible.
- Light Weight
- Easy To Calibration.
- Minimum run of straight pipe before and after the sensor.
- Simple Pulse Output.

Typical applications for paddle wheel flow meters include the accurate measurement of preset fluid volumes in dispensing systems, control of chemical metering pump output, flow verification, irrigation systems, and alerting users to flow rate increases or decreases outside a programmed range.
