FAQs

Q: Can the TK Series flow meter be installed vertically?

A: Yes, the TK Series can be installed in either a horizontal or vertical direction. Ensure there is sufficient straight pipe length for accurate readings.

Q: What should I do if I encounter a pressurized system warning?

A: If you encounter a pressurized system warning, make sure tovent the system prior to installation or removal to prevent equipment damage or injury.

Q: How can I protect the paddle wheel from damage?

A: Install a Bag Filter or Y Strainer upstream to avoid damage from solids or fibers. Do not exceed the specified particle size limits to prevent warranty void.

Pressurized System Warning

• The sensor may be under pressure. Take caution to vent the system prior to installation or removal. Failure to do so may result in equipment damage and/or serious injury.

Please ensure that the Instruments are not to be subject to water hammer or pressure spikes! Always Pressure Test System with H2O Prior to Initial Start- Up Before Before installation be certain the appropriate instrument has been selected considering operating pressure, full-scale pressure, wetted material requirements, media compatibility, operating temperature, vibration, pulsation, desired accuracy, and any other instrument component related to the service application including the potential need for protective attachments and/or special installation requirements. Failure to do so could result in equipment damage, failure, and/or personal injury. Ensure only qualified personnel personnel are permitted to install and maintain this instrument. Pressurize System Warning The sensor may be under pressure, take caution to vent the system prior to installation or removal. Failure to do so may result in equipment damage and/or serious injury. Please Ensure Full PipeTK Series can be installed in a horizontal or vertical direction. Please ensure that the length of the straight pipe is enough to avoid intensified turbulent flow that can affect readings. Min 10x Pipe Diameters Upstream 3x Pipe Diameters Downstream A Bag Filter or Y Strainer Filtering Device upstream to Avoid the Paddle Wheel from being damaged by the solids or fibers – max 10% Particle Size – Not to Exceed .5mm Cross Section or Length. Please do not flush the pipe after the Flow Meter is installed with compressed air this may damage the ceramic shaft and will void the warranty.

Industry’s Most Accurate & Reliable Paddle Wheel Flow Meters

The TK 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 an 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.

New ShearPro Design

• Contoured Flow Profile
• Reduced Turbulence = Increased Longevity
• 78% Less Drag than Old Flat Paddle Design
  • 78% Less Drag than Old Flat Paddle Design
