Product Description
The IC-LPM Custom OEM Paddlewheel Flow Meter series has a simple yet robust stainless steel construction that offers excellent corrosion resistance. Its versatile design can be adapted to meet the requirements of varying liquid flow applications or customised for OEM flow meter applications.
The IC-LPM can be supplied with either threaded or flanged connections and a selection of outputs, flow instruments and displays for compact or remote installation.
There is a choice of 3 temperature ratings, a standard operating temperature of up to 120°C with options for medium (up to 230°C) and high (up to 350°C) temperature ratings.
Threaded versions will withstand pressures up to 100 bar, although higher pressures options are also available depending on the application.
The IC-LPM paddlewheel flow meters are an ideal replacement for many turbine meters, they offer a lower pressure drop and reduced risk of contamination from liquids with suspended solids, while still achieving an excellent level of repeatability.
