How to Use Paddlewheel Flowmeters (Dwyer)
Paddlewheel flowmeters measure the velocity of liquids in pipes, such as chemicals, water, and liquids. High accuracy is attainable if carefully installed. These flowmeters are measuring flow at the edge of the flow profile and thus are affected by viscosity changes. The most common use is in a system where the fluid is like water and other variables such as pH/ORP, conductivity, pressure, temperature, and level are monitored. All sensors are inserted into the same pipe Ts and connect into one controller/transmitter. There are temperature and pressure limitations of this insertion system but it is very versatile. Applications for paddlewheel flowmeters are found in the water and chemical industries. Water applications include distribution systems. Miscellaneous applications are found in the food and beverage, and chemical industries.
