Paddle Wheel Flow Meter
Paddle Wheel Flow Meters are mechanical meters that have a freely rotating paddlewheel set in the path of a fluid stream. The flowing liquid or gas causes the turbine to spin upon its axis. The rate of spin will be proportional to the velocity of the flow. Paddlewheel flow meters are simple and reliable.
Description
A Paddle Wheel Flow Meter is one of the most widely used and cost-effective solutions for measuring the flow of clean, low-viscosity liquids. It operates on a simple yet reliable principle: as liquid flows through the pipe, it rotates the internal paddle wheel, and the sensor converts this rotation into an accurate flow rate. This makes it ideal for applications where accuracy, affordability, and easy installation matter.
Engineered for versatility, paddle wheel flow meters support a wide range of pipe sizes and are suitable for water, chemicals, coolants, and other compatible liquids. They deliver consistent performance even at low flow velocities, making them a preferred choice in industries such as water treatment, irrigation, chemical processing, HVAC, food & beverage, and general industrial utilities.
The Paddle Wheel Flow Meter is lightweight, compact design ensures fast installation and minimal maintenance. The meter can be integrated with digital displays, controllers, PLCs, and SCADA systems for real-time monitoring and automated system control. With high repeatability and a wide operating range, paddle wheel flow meters provide an excellent balance of performance and value.
