Description
The IP80 series are impeller type (or “paddlewheel”) insertion meters designed for use with a wide variety of liquids in pipe sizes 1/2” to 8”. Sensors
are available in brass, 316 stainless steel, PVC, and polypropylene. Bodies
are machined from a solid rod for maximum precision. High-quality jewel
bearings and nickel-bound tungsten carbide shafts are used for extreme low
friction and long life.
The rotation of the rotor is detected by a non-drag Hall-effect sensor. Output
is a current-sinking pulse (square wave), which can be sent long distances
(up to 2,000 feet) without a transmitter. This signal can be connected directly
to PLC’s, counters, and computer cards, as well as a variety of AquaMetrix
controls and displays.
For rate and total display, the Shark-120/240 controller or Shark TX/P transmitter (loop powered) models are compatible with IP80 series sensors. They
can be mounted in either surface, pipe
or panel congurations.
The IP80 series require special ttings
that ensure correct depth placement in
the pipe. Fittings come in a variety of
materials for compatibility with specic
applications. Tee ttings are individually wet-calibrated at the factory and
marked with the K-factor (pulses per
gallon). Saddle ttings must be eldinstalled on the pipe and do not come
wet-calibrated. K-factors for saddles
are based on factory testing.
