The flow sensor shall use a four-blade, open-cell rotor design using insertion paddlewheel technology.
Linearity of the output signal with respect to flow rate shall be 1 % of full range.
Measurement repeatability of the output signal with respect to flow rate shall be 0.5 % of full range.
The sensor body shall be made of injection-molded polypropylene (PP) that shall accommodate up to 12.5 bar @ 20C (180 psi @
68F) and 1.7 bar @ 90C (25 psi @ 194F). As an alternative, the sensor shall be made of injection-molded polyvinylidene fluoride
(PVDF) that shall accommodate up to 14 bar @ 20C (200 psi @ 68F) and 1.7 bar @ 100C (25 psi @ 212F).
The sensor shall attach to a pipe via a variety of insertion-style installation fittings supplied by the flow sensor manufacturer.
Attachment shall use a 1-1/4 X 11-1/2 NPSM threaded cap. Sealing shall be accomplished with a double O-ring seal. O-rings shall
be made of FPM-Viton, FPM-Kalrez or EPDM.
The sensor shall be equipped with 0.5 in. female conduit connection.
The sensor shall operate with a power input of 3.3 to 6VDC @ <1.5 mA or from 6 to 24 VDC @ <20 mA.
The sensor output shall provide an open-collector pulse at a frequency of 49.2 Hz per m/s nominal (15 Hz per ft/s).
Output shall be via a twisted pair, foil-shielded cable with drain wire. Supplied cable shall be at least 7.6 m (25 ft) long, with a
maximum allowable length of 305 m (1000 ft).
The operating range of the sensor shall accommodate nominal flow rates from 0.1 to 6 m/s (0.3 to 20 ft/s).
The sensor shall meet appropriate CE standards.
