THE FL0W SENSOR THAT
MAKES SHORT WORK OF
YOUR FLOW MEASUREMENTS
Paddlewheel
Flow Sensors
FP-5300 Series
TM
Streamline your ow measurement
operation with the FP-5300 Series
ow sensor. Using this compact
ow sensor, a matched sensor
installation tting, an OMEGATM
ow meter or controller, and
ordinary handtools, you can
assemble a complete ow
monitoring or controlling system in
minutes. Accurate to ±0.2 fps, with
repeatability at ±0.1 fps, this
insertion sensor operates on a simple
electromechanical principle, proven in
thousands of liquid ow applications
worldwide. It all adds up to precision,
dependability, and convenience–
basic advantages that are quickly
surpassing its in-line competition.
A TIMESAVER YOU
CAN BANK ON
Convert your maintenance hours
into minutes with the FP-5300.
Should a sensor, rotor, or O-ring
need to be replaced, it takes only
seconds. Reduce your system
downtime substantially with a
stand-alone FP-5300 sensor, or
simply add a Wet Tap Assembly
and eliminate downtime completely.
Combined with the FP-5300 during
initial installation, the Wet Tap
allows sensor removal without
system shut-down. Optional local or
remote capability lets you place your
meter up to 200 feet away without
signal amplication, and you can
install the FP-5300 in pipe sizes ranging from 1⁄2 inch to 36 inches without
a lot of additional cost, because the price of the FP-5300 increases only
slightly for larger pipe sizes.
RUGGED CONSTRUCTION FOR LONG WEAR
Available in a choice of chemically resistant, non-contaminating housing
materials, the FP-5300 stands up to the harshest environments. The glasslled polypropylene housing version is lightweight but strong, which makes
it ideal for handling a wide range of liquids, including corrosive uids in
chemical processing. For processes involving acids and solvents, the PVDF
(polyvinylidene uoride) housing version is a tough uorocarbon that is
highly resistant to more severe uids. (Visit us online for more information on
OMEGA’s all-PVDF ow monitoring systems.)
Patented “ow-through” rotor
design ensures accurate, linear
output to ±1%.

Flow Measurement Simple and Accurate
The sensor works on a simple but precise
electromechanical principle based on measuring the
rate and volume of ow in your pipe. Four permanent
magnets, imbedded in the rotor blades, spin past a
coil in the sensor body. As the uid ow causes the
rotor to move, a sine wave signal is produced, directly
proportional to the owrate. The patented “open cell”
feature of the rotor ensures a linear, repeatable output,
up to 23 fps, with accuracy of ±0.2 fps. The result is
minimal head loss and no cavitation.

PRESSURE/TEMPERATURE CHARTS
For FP-5100, FP-5200, FP-5300 and FP-8500 Series
Sensors and Associated Fittings
NOTE: All pressure/temperature ratings listed are for water under non-shock conditions with no pressure cycling.
Various chemicals and cycling pressures up and down can weaken plastics. Fittings must be installed so that the
tting does not carry the weight of the piping and does not suffer from thermal expansion stresses. Water hammer,
uid surges, and cavitation must always be avoided. If the end user elects to thread the plastic ttings with socket
ends, the pressure rating will be substantially decreased.

These ratings are for PVC and PVDF ttings. For all metal
ttings 10" and larger, a PVC insert is used; for 8" and below, a
PVDF insert is used. Use the appropriate curve to determine the
maximum pressure rating of these ttings.
