IP150/250
Brand: Seametrics, Inc
The IP100/200-Series are adjustable depth insertion paddlewheels that come in brass, PVC, or 316 stainless models to fit 3” to 40” pipe.
Adapters mate with standard 1-1/2” (11x/21x) or 2” (15x/25x), or PVC (11x/21x) NPT threaded fittings such as saddles and weldolets which may be purchased either locally or from Seametrics.
High-quality jewel bearings and nickelbound tungsten carbide shafts are used for extreme low friction and long life.
Ruby bearings and a non-drag Hall-effect sensor give these meters the widest flow range of any paddlewheel on the market. A sensor detects the passage of miniature magnets in the six rotor blades.
The resulting square-wave signal can be sent for hundreds of feet over unshielded cable without a transmitter and connected directly to many PLC’s and other controls without any additional electronics.
A modular system of electronics can be installed directly on the flow sensor or mounted remotely.
The FT430 (externally powered with pulse), FT440 (loop powered), and FT450 (battery powered) all provide digital rate and total displays, as well as a programmable pulse; the FT440 also provides a 4-20 mA analog output.
The “hot-tap” models (IP15x/25x) can be installed or serviced without shutting down the line by means of a 2” full-port isolation valve that comes with a nipple for installation on the pipe fitting. In most circumstances, no special tool is required.
Features- Isolation valve allows insertion and removal with the pipe under pressure
- Two sizes fit entire pipe range: IP150 to 12″, IP250 to 40″
- High-quality ruby bearings for excellent low-flow performance and long life
- One easily-replaced moving part
- Square-wave frequency output can connect directly to PLC's or counter controls
- Uses standard NPT threaded pipe fittings or saddles
- Controls can be remote or meter mounted
