Fluid Flow Meter Options

Daitron offers you two high-performance fluid flow meter options: general-purpose plastic flowmeters and high-pressure stainless steel flowmeters. Both options utilize infrared technology.
  • SF800 General Purpose Meter - The material of construction used for the wetted materials (PVDF and Vectra) are temperature durable and highly chemically resistant plastics. This makes it immune to limescale build-up and adding to the longevity and versatility of the design. Temperature ranges from -4°F to 194°F.
  • SF800/6 High-Pressure Meter -  This stainless steel model is a high-pressure flowmeter that can withstand harsh environments. Temperature ranges from -4°F to 194°F.
The compact nature and threaded ports (to allow varying plumbing connection options) further the versatility of the flowmeter design. While some flow meters use magnets, issues can arise due to their susceptibility to magnetic fields. Our liquid flow meters utilize infrared technology versus using magnets, providing you with accurate and precise measurements.

  • Immune to limescale buildup
  • Immune to magnetic fields

How Does a Liquid Flowmeter Work?

A turbine liquid flow meter consists of two main parts: a cylindrical rotor housing (vertical turbine, axial flow in) and a lightweight rotor (0.04 grams). The rotor housing has flow formers at its inlet, which create a controlled and constant swirl in the fluid. This swirl causes the rotor to float in the fluid stream. The rotor's frictionless rotation is directly proportional to the fluid's flow rate.

As the rotor spins, it intermittently breaks an infrared signal. This signal is generated by a diode and detected by a phototransistor integrated into the flow meter's electronics. These electronics are securely welded between the rotor housing and an outer housing, protecting them from external infrared interference.

With a floating rotor there is virtually frictionless wear and tear, resulting in an exceptionally long operating life. Turbine flow meters deliver highly proportional, linear, and accurate signal, and can be mounted in any orientation without affecting performance.

For a signal that is highly accurate and immune to external influences, an integrated PCB emits an infrared signal. It is interrupted by the three blades of the rotor, providing a highly accurate translation from this physical occurrence to an extremely high-resolution pulse signal.
