Freeflow sensor

Accurate & Economic flow sensor:
Minimally invasive, low cost segmented wedge flow sensor. Used to monitor and control process water.
No moving parts: The segmented wedge element provides a simple and reliable restriction for sensing flow as related to pressure differential
Unrestricted mounting: Allows the designer to install the meter in any orientation – horizontal, vertical or inverted.
Compact & rugged design: Measures less than 10" long and 3-1/2" wide, with a flanged mounting base for simple installation.
Multiple flow range available: The FreeFlow™ Sensor is offered with several ranges of calibration to accommodate the requirements typical to process water applications.
Multiple port sizes: Standard selection of NPT ports reduces the amount of adapters required for installation.
Low-cost precision: Measuring accuracy of ±2% of range and repeatability of ±1/2%

Engineering specifications:
