The FP-2540 and FP-3-1500 Series offer the added strength and corrosion resistance of stainless steel for applications requiring low velocity measurement. Unique internal circuitry eliminates the need for magnets in the process fluid, enabling lower flow measurement while maintaining the advantages of insertion-type sensor design. The sensor’s unique rotor/bearing design offers low flow measuring capability with increased reliability.
SPECIFICATIONS Output Signal: Open collector, sinking Output Frequency: 15 Hz per fps Operating Range: 0.3 to 20 fps Pressure/Temperature: With standard FKM O-rings: 250 psi @ 82°C (180°F) Power Requirements: 5 to 24 Vdc Pipe Size Range: FP-2540: 1.5 to 24" FP-3-1500-2X: 1.5 to 36" Repeatability: ±0.5% of full range Linearity: ±1% of full range MATERIALS Sensor Fitting: 316 SS O-rings: FKM Rotor: CD4MCu Rotor Bearings: PEEK Cable Type: Twisted pair with foil shield Cable Length: 7.6 m (25'); 305 m (1000') max
Thank you for your inquiry. The paddle wheel sensor can be used to measure fuel, please note that it is calibrated for water. A field calibration will have to be performed to adjust the K-factor for this other liquid.

Do you provide an added component whereby to convert the open collector pulse to 4-20 maDC? If not can you suggest an appropriate one?
