FineTek EPR Paddle Wheel Flow Meter
The FineTek EPR paddle wheel flow meter pairs a rugged mechanical sensor with microprocessor-based signal processing to deliver dependable flow rate and velocity readings across a wide range of industrial liquids — including corrosive and non-viscous fluids that give other flow meters trouble.
How It Works
As liquid moves through the pipe, it spins an internal paddle wheel rotor at a speed directly proportional to flow velocity. The onboard microprocessor reads the rotor’s pulse frequency and converts it into instantaneous flow rate, flow velocity, and totalized volume — all shown on the local display and available to your control system.
