The OMEGA® FPB100 Series
flow sensor is the next generation in
fluid measurement technology.
This new sensor is an improvement
on what is already an industry
standard. It has the added
functionality of various output
options including flow switch,
multi-functional pulse divider or
4 to 20 mA. Additionally, it offers
low flow, low power and high
resolution and can be configured
onsite directly through the built-in
user interface. Installation is simple
because the OMEGA FPB100
Series utilizes the same fittings
as the popular OMEGA FP5000
and FP8500 Series paddlewheel
sensors and fits into pipe sizes
ranging from DN15 to DN200
(0.5 to 8”). Available in
polypropylene and PVDF, it is
ideal for a variety of applications
including chemical processing,
water and wastewater monitoring
and scrubber control.
