General Information: The PW Series flow sensors are impeller-type insertion meters suitable for pipe sizes ranging from 1/2" to 8". They feature high-quality jewel bearings and a nickel-bound tungsten carbide shaft for durability and low friction. The rotor's rotation is detected by a Hall-effect sensor, producing a pulse-type square wave output that can be transmitted over long distances without a transmitter. These sensors are ideal for chemical proportioning applications and can be paired with the FT415/420 flow indicator for rate and total display or pump pacing.
Specifications:- Sensor: Hall Effect Sensor with 12 VDC current sinking pulse.
- Materials: Sensor body made of PVC, rotor made of Kynar, shaft options include nickel-bound tungsten carbide or ceramic, and ruby jewel bearings.
- Maximum Pressure: 175 PSI (12 bar) at 75°F for PVC.
- Maximum Temperature: 130°F (55°C) for PVC.
- Accuracy: 1.5% Full Scale.
- Flow Range (GPM): Varies by pipe size, from 0.28-28 GPM for 1/2" to 47-4700 GPM for 8".
- Cable: #22 AWG 3-conductor, 18 feet long.
Ordering Information: The model number includes details such as series, sensor/body material, line size, pin connector type, shaft material, O-ring material, flow computer type, and mounting style. Options include PVC body, nickel-bound tungsten carbide or ceramic shaft, Buna or Viton O-rings, and various mounting styles.
Installation: The PW Series requires special fittings for installation, ensuring correct depth placement in the pipe. Fittings are made of PVC and included in the model selection. Smaller diameters use a "T" fitting, while larger diameters use a "Saddle" fitting.
