Description
Seametrics IP800 Fixed Depth Insertion Paddlewheel
Seametrics IP800 Fixed Depth Insertion Paddlewheel (or “paddlewheel”) insertion meters designed for use with a wide variety of clean liquids in pipe sizes 1/2” to 8”. Sensors are available in brass, 316 stainless steel, PVC, and polypropylene. Bodies are machined from a solid rod for maximum precision.
The Description of Seametrics IP800
High-quality jewel bearings and nickel-bound tungsten carbide shafts are used for extremely low friction and long life. The rotation of the rotor is detected by a non-drag Hall-effect sensor.
Output is a current-sinking pulse, which can be sent long distances (up to 2,000 feet) without a transmitter. This signal can be connected directly to PLCs, counters, and computer cards, as well as a variety of Seametrics controls and displays.
For rate and total display, a modular system of electronics can be installed directly on the flow sensor or mounted remotely. The FT430 (externally powered with a 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. Electronic modules can be wall- or meter-mounted. If no display is required, a simple divider may be needed, such as the PD10 to provide adjustable pump pacing.
The IP800-Series requires special fittings that ensure correct depth placement in the pipe. Fittings come in a variety of materials for compatibility with specific applications. Tee fittings are individually wet-calibrated at the factory and marked with the K-factor (pulses per gallon). Saddle fittings must be field-installed on the pipe and do not come wetContact Your Supplier calibrated. K-factors for saddles are based on factory-testing.
