Seametrics Paddlewheel Flow Meters
Seametrics offers a number of flow meters designed to measure flow rates by placing a free-rotating paddlewheel in the path of a stream, like the MJ Series, MJN Series, and the IP800 series. The flowing liquid or gas causes the turbine to spin upon its axis. The rate of spin will be proportional to the velocity of the flow. Paddlewheel flow meters are simple and reliable. They are able to measure high flow rates with low-pressure loss. Though versatile, paddlewheel meters do best in applications with constant conditions in liquids such as water or lower viscosity fluids.
