Turbine flow meter FT2

volumefor waterfor wastewater

Overview
The FT2 turbine flowmeter with optical detection is a multi-range radial flow transducer designed for precise measurement of low to medium liquid flow rates. It features a low-inertia turbine on sapphire bearings within a chemically resistant PPS body, offering nine selectable flow ranges, pulse output and IP65 protection. Individual traceable calibration and OEM fitting options make the FT2 suitable for integration in industrial production and instrumentation.

Ideal for

• Laboratory and test benches
• Cooling and thermal control systems
• Semiconductor process plants
• Water and effluent treatment
• Low-viscosity liquid measurement

Features

• Optical sensor detection
• Non-metallic PPS body for chemical resistance
• Sapphire bearings for low inertia
• Nine flow ranges from 0.02 to 160 L/min
• Pulse output with approx. K-factors per range
• Typical accuracy 1.0–1.5% FSD depending on range
• Repeatability 0.1%
• Pressure rating 15 bar
• Ingress protection IP65
• Standard Viton™ seal (other seal options available)
• Supply 7.5–24 Vdc (optical sensor 7–24 Vdc)
• Operating fluid temperature to 80°C
