Product Information
The Multi-Function Paddle Wheel Flow Meter is designed toprovide accurate and reliable flow measurement in various industrial applications. It features a Zirconium Ceramic Rotor and Bushings for exceptional wear resistance and durability compared to traditional paddle wheel flow meters.
Materials of Construction:
- O-ring material
- Operating Temperature
- rotection Rating
- pproval *Optional
Product Usage Instructions
Safety Information:
- De-pressurize and vent system before installation or removal.
- Confirm chemical compatibility before use.
- Do not exceed maximum temperature or pressure specifications.
- Always wear safety goggles or face-shield during installation and service.
- Do not alter product construction.
Installation:
- Lubricate O-rings with a compatible viscous lubricant before installation.
- Carefully lower the sensor into the fitting using an alternating twisting motion. Do not force.
- Ensure tab and notch are parallel to flow direction.
- Hand tighten the sensor cap without using any tools to prevent damage to threads.
FAQ
Q: What should I do if the sensor cap or fitting threads are damaged?
A: Contact customer support for guidance on repairing or replacing the damaged components.
Q: Can the flow meter be used with corrosive fluids?
A: Confirm the chemical compatibility of the materials of construction with the specific fluid before use.
Read the user’s manual carefully before starting to use the unit. Producer reserves the right to implement changes without prior notice.

Industry’s Most Accurate & Reliable Paddle Wheel Flow Meters
The TI Series insertion plastic paddle wheel flow meter has been engineered to
provide long-term accurate flow measurement in tough industrial applications.
The paddle wheel assembly consists of a engineered Tefzel® paddle and micro-
polished zirconium ceramic rotor pin and bushings.
High performance Tefzel® and Zirconium materials have been selected due to
their excellent chemical and wear resistant properties.
Installation
Very Important
- Lubricate O-rings with a viscous lubricant, compatible with the materials of construction.
- Using an alternating | twisting motion, carefully lower the sensor into the fitting. | Do Not Force | Fig 5
- Ensure tab | notch are parallel to flow direction | Fig-2
Hand tighten the sensor cap. DO NOT use any tools on the sensor cap or the cap threads or fitting threads may be damaged. | Fig-5
Correct Sensor Position
Correct Sensor Position Setup
TI Series flow meters measure liquid media only. There should be no air bubbles and the pipe must always remain full. To ensure accurate flow measurement, the placement of the flow meters needs to adhere to specific parameters. This requires a straight run pipe with a minimum number of pipe diameters distance upstream and downstream of the flow sensor.
