RODI's IP80 Series are impeller-type insertion sensors designed for use in pipe sizes 1/2" to 8". High-quality jewel bearings and nickel-bound tungsten carbide shaft are used in both the IP81 (pipe sizes 1/2" to 4") and the IP82 (pipe sizes 6" to 8").
The flow sensor bodies are machined from solid rod for maximum performance. Low-flow performance is superior. The rotation of the rotor is detected by a nondrag Hall-effect sensor. Output is a pulse-type square wave which can be sent up to 2,000 feet without a transmitter.
The IP80 Series require special fittings, since they are not depth-adjustable. Installation in the fitting ensures correct depth placement in the pipe. Fittings are availc able in PVC, brass, and stainless steel. Sensors are available in brass, 316 stainless steel, PVC, and polypropylene. Jewel bearing for superior low-flow performance. Threaded housings allow for field repair.
