Product Usage Instructions
Safety Information
Before using the In-Line Paddle Wheel Flow Meter Sensor, ensure
you follow these safety guidelines:
- De-pressurize and vent the system before installation or
removal. - Confirm chemical compatibility before use.
- Do not exceed maximum temperature or pressure
specifications. - Always wear safety goggles or a face-shield during installation
and service. - Do not alter the product construction.
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
When working with the sensor, ensure you wear appropriate
personal protective equipment to prevent injury.
Pressurized System Warning
Ensure that the sensor may be under pressure. Vent the system
before installation or removal to prevent equipment damage or
serious injury.
Please Ensure Full Pipe
Install the TK Series in a horizontal or vertical direction with
enough straight pipe length to avoid turbulent flow that can affect
readings.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Can the In-Line Paddle Wheel Flow Meter Sensor be used with
any type of liquid?
A: The sensor is suitable for use with water or chemical liquids
within a viscosity range of 0.5-20 centistokes.
Q: What is the maximum flow velocity supported by the
sensor?
A: The sensor can handle flow velocities of up to 10 m/s.
Q: How should I handle the sensor to avoid damage?
A: Follow the safety guidelines provided, including
de-pressurizing and venting the system before installation or
removal, and ensuring a full pipe to prevent turbulent flow.
