Truflo® -- TIW | TI3W Series
Insertion Paddle Wheel Flow Meter Sensor

Product Description
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.

Features
? ½" ­ 24" Line Sizes ? Pulse Output ? Industry's Highest Accuracy: ±0.5% F.S

M12 Connection

New ShearPro® Design

? Contoured Flow Profile ? Reduced Turbulence = Increased Longevity

? 78% Less Drag than Old Flat Paddle Design*

*Ref: NASA "Shape Effects on Drag"

TI3W 316 SS

Tefzel® Paddle Wheel ? Superior Chemical And Wear Resistance vs PVDF

Flying Lead

Zirconium Ceramic Rotor | Bushings ? Up to 15x the Wear Resistance ? Integral Rotor Bushings Reduce Wear
and Fatigue Stress

Truflo® -- TIW | TI3W Series
Insertion Paddle Wheel Flow Meter Sensor

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.
