The FP-AS paddlewheel flow meter features patented AxleSense technology, RoHS compliant with the functions of detects paddle loss and preventing zero-flow issues. For FP-AS310 Lite version, Two communication standard versions are available: A version: 4-20mA, switch signal (NPN); R version: Modbus RTU (RS485).
Catalog MANUAL
Paddle wheel flow meter measure flow by using fluid to drive the rotation of blades, with the rotational speed proportional to the flow rate. Suitable for measuring low-viscosity liquids like water, oil, and chemicals, these meters are characterized by moderate accuracy, quick response, and easy installation and maintenance. Due to direct contact with the liquid, regular cleaning and inspection are required.
Provides clear paddle anomaly alerts, essential for Industry 4.0 integration. It quickly resolves flow issues by syncing with factory management systems. Built-in magnetic sensing checks paddlewheel magnet strength, ensuring consistent flow accuracy through regular monitoring and scheduled replacements.
LORRIC's precision-turned pipe fittings, crafted from extruded rod material, ensure consistent sizing and a flawless inner surface, minimizing flow disturbances for precise measurements. Stronger than injection-molded alternatives, they eliminate flash, short shots, and weld lines, offering superior durability and long-term reliability.
Traditional plastic injection molding often creates uneven inner surfaces and wave-like patterns in tee fittings due to compression-induced shrinkage, leading to inconsistent cross-sections, unstable flow, and inaccurate calculations. Injection-molded fittings also suffer from flash, short shots, and weak weld lines, compromising durability. In contrast, LORRIC's tee fittings use advanced manufacturing for a smoother, more reliable performance.
Adjust the viewing direction of the screen according to the piping direction, which is convenient for flow monitoring in different piping situations. Learn more: How to Install Paddle Wheel Flow Meter
Traditional pulse output uses a fixed K-factor across the entire range, leading to errors. For example, a conventional DN15 paddlewheel flow meter outputs one signal per 90-degree rotation, always using a K-factor of 106.55 pulses per liter, regardless of flow speed. LORRIC’s exclusive Pulse 2.0 technology, powered by AxleSense, dynamically calculates flow and enables pulse output as precise as one pulse per 0.01L, eliminating errors from fixed K-factors and ensuring superior accuracy.
⚠ Safety instructions: 1. After the warranty, the electronic components of the product will age due to time and operating environment. Under long-term use, please replace the new product according to the condition of the product. 2. Do not operate the product under an Orange or Red LCD Backlight for a long time. Product damage and related losses may occur. Conditions and Disclaimer: CONDITIONS: Equipment sold by LORRIC is not intended to be used, nor shall it be used: (1) As a "Basic Component" under 10 CFR 21 (NRC), used in or with any nuclear installation or activity; or (2) In medical applications or used on humans. Should any product(s) be used in or with any nuclear installation or activity, medical application, used on humans, or misused in any way, LORRIC assumes no responsibility as set forth in our basic WARRANTY/ DISCLAIMER language, and, additionally, purchaser will indemnify LORRIC and hold LORRIC harmless from any liability or damage whatsoever arising out of the use of the product(s) in such a manner. DISCLAIMER: Please be aware that magnetic fields or residual magnetism may cause interference to the flowmeter which may result in damage if they are used near the installation site. The purchaser must determine the applicability of the product for its desired use and assumes all risks in connection therewith. LORRIC assumes no responsibility or liability for any omissions or errors in connection with the use of its products. The alarm used to detect paddle damage or loss is intended to assist on-site operators to find out what is causing equipment abnormalities. Because there are a myriad of variables involved with on-site operation and magnetic fields that come from other equipment, the alarm function is liable to fail. Please do not take the alarm function as a single source for monitoring your flow system. Please contact LORRIC for advanced help.
