Streamline your flow measurement operation with the FP-5100 Series flow sensor. Using this compact flow sensor, a
matched sensor installation fitting, an OMEGA® flow meter or controller, and ordinary handtools, you can assemble a
complete flow monitoring or controlling system in minutes. Accurate to ±0.2 fps, with repeatability at ±0.1 fps, this insertion
sensor operates on a simple electromechanical principle, proven in thousands of liquid flow applications worldwide. It all
adds up to precision, dependability, and convenience– basic advantages that are quickly surpassing its in-line competition.
Convert your maintenance hours into minutes with the FP-5300. Should a sensor, rotor, or O-ring need to be replace
d, it takes only seconds. Reduce your system downtime substantially with a stand-alone FP-5300 sensor, or simply add a
Wet Tap Assembly and eliminate downtime completely. Combined with the FP-5300 during initial installation, the Wet Tap
allows sensor removal without system shut-down. Optional local or remote capability lets you place your meter up to 200
feet away without signal amplification, and you can install the FP-5300 in pipe sizes ranging from 1 /2 inch to 36 inches without
a lot of additional cost, because the price of the FP-5300 increases only slightly for larger pipe sizes.
Available in a
choice of chemically resistant, non-contaminating housing materials, the FP-5300 stands up to the harshest environments.
The glass-filled polypropylene housing version is lightweight but strong, which makes it ideal for handling a wide range of
liquids, including corrosive fluids in chemical processing. For processes involving acids and solvents, the PVDF
(polyvinylidene fluoride) housing version is a tough fluorocarbon that is highly resistant to more severe fluids.
The sensor works on a simple but precise electromechanical principle based on measuring the rate and volume of flow
in your pipe. Four permanent magnets, imbedded in the rotor blades, spin past a coil in the sensor body. As the fluid flow
causes the rotor to move, a sine wave signal is produced, directly proportional to the flowrate. The patented “open cell”
feature of the rotor ensures a linear, repeatable output, up to 20 fps, with accuracy of ±0.2 fps. The result is minimal head
loss and no cavitation.
Designed to allow optional conduit installation, the FP-
5300 easily lets you comply with local codes requiring
conduit protection. For instance, pry off the plug on top
of the sensor: underneath, you’ll find a 1/2 inch (F) NPT
thread. Using an optional conduit adaptor fitting kit, you
can connect your conduit FPM-5000-SCAK conduit adaptor
kit), and an optional instrument back-cover kit will
provide everything you need for quick conduit
connection to a meter or controller. Additionally, you
can adapt to both rigid and flexible liquid-tight conduits,
protecting your system hookup from harsh elements
and mechanical damage.
