Design & Functionality
The EPR flow meter operates using a rotating blade positioned inside the fluid path. As liquid flows through the pipe, it rotates the paddle wheel. The rotational speed is proportional to the fluid velocity, allowing the system to calculate flow rate accurately.
A built-in microprocessor processes the signal and converts it into analog, pulse, or digital communication outputs. This enables seamless integration with PLC systems, monitoring panels, and industrial control networks.
The compact housing and modular construction allow the display unit to be separated from the sensor for maintenance or replacement. This design simplifies servicing and reduces downtime in industrial environments.
Total Crossed Beams
The paddle wheel sensor ensures stable flow detection by maintaining consistent blade rotation even under varying flow conditions. This design improves signal stability and ensures reliable measurement across the full flow range.
Beam Pitch Options
The EPR series supports various pipe sizes and installation configurations, allowing the meter to be used across multiple pipeline systems. This flexibility enables integration into different industrial fluid control environments.
Intrinsic Synchronism
The sensor calibration process ensures accurate K-factor measurement and consistent flow detection. Advanced signal processing reduces friction, resistance, and mechanical errors, maintaining stable measurement performance over time.
