Wedge Flowmeter
Description
The new FW1000 series are a low-cost, minimally invasive series of wedge flow sensors. This unit offers high accuracy and repeatability with no required inlet or outlet straight plumbing. The design allows users to install the meter in any full pipe orientation (horizontal, vertical or inverted). This CE compliant series is offered with several flow ranges to accommodate the typical requirements in process water applications.
