PFT-IAN-B111-S
The Series PFT Paddlewheel Flow Sensor is used to monitor liquid ow rates in
pipes from 1-1/2 to 40˝ (40-1016 mm). The unit has one size-adjustable sensor and is
available in brass or 316 SS body. The unit outputs a frequency proportional pulsed
or 4-20 mA output. The pulse models are a square wave output signal with frequency
proportional to the ow velocity and the 4-20 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/BENEFITS
• Bearings and shaft offer excellent wear protection even in applications with
particulate for long life
• Weatherproof and submersible rated for irrigation applications
• One unit adjustable over a large pipe size range
• Multiple wetted material choices offer application versatility
• Integral 4-20 mA output with no need for additional external components
• Sensor technology uses inductive sensing to sense the blades of the impeller
therefore does not use magnets allowing low ow rate monitoring with no concerns
regarding magnetic material in the ow
APPLICATIONS
• Irrigation
• Ground water remediation
• Cooling systems
• Pump protection
• Leak detection
• Filtration systems
