Paddle Wheel Flow Meters

New!

Paddle wheel flow meters measure the flow rate of a liquid by using a rotating paddle wheel placed in the flow stream. When liquid passes through the pipe it forces the paddle wheel to spin with the rotational speed directly proportional to the liquid's velocity. A sensor detects the wheel's rotation and generates pulses and an analog signal corresponding to this speed.

ICON Process Controls Truflo^® TKM series paddle wheel liquid flow meters provide reliable, full-pipe liquid flow measurement with exceptional long-term performance. These rugged, highly repeatable sensors deliver outstanding value with no scheduled maintenance required. Built with a chemically resistant PVC body, they are ideal for corrosive liquid process applications. Their true-union design ensures easy installation, allowing quick sensor removal and servicing without disrupting the pipeline. Each unit comes preprogrammed, and offers a bright, 360° rotatable LED display for clear, convenient readability.
