Hot-Tap Adjustable Depth Insertion Paddlewheel Flow Meter

The IP150/250-Series are adjustable depth insertion paddlewheels that come in brass, PVC, or 316 stainless models to fit 3" to 40" pipe. Adapters mate with standard 1-1/2" (11x/21x) or 2" (15x/25x), or PVC (11x/21x) NPT threaded fittings such as saddles and weldolets.

Ruby bearings and a non-drag Hall-effect sensor give these meters the widest flow range of any of the paddlewheel types. A sensor detects the passage of miniature magnets in the six rotor blades. The resulting square-wave signal can be sent for hundreds of feet over unshielded cable without a transmitter and connected directly to many PLC’s and other controls without any additional electronics.

A modular system of electronics can be installed directly on the flow sensor or mounted remotely. The FT430 (externally powered with pulse), FT440 (loop powered), and FT450 (battery powered) all provide digital rate and total displays, as well as a programmable pulse; the FT440 also provides a 4-20 mA analog output.

The “hot-tap" models (IP15x/25x) can be installed or serviced without shutting down the line by means of a 2" full-port isolation valve that comes with a nipple for installation on the pipe fitting. In most circumstances, no special tool is required.
