Description

The WPI-SDC flow meters are designed for monitoring sandy/dirty irrigation water using an undershot paddle wheel. An undershot wheel is a vertically mounted water wheel with a horizontal axle that is rotated by the flow of water through the pipe. The paddle wheel in the WPI-SDC irrigation flow meter is positioned so that the lower half of the paddle wheel is immersed in the flow. The motion of the paddle wheel is then proportional to the volume of water flowing through the flow meter.

The meter body is an epoxy coated iron with a Dry Dial, Copper Can design display with frost protection. The copper can mechanism can be replaced onsite without the need to remove the flow meter itself. Flanged connections are available from DN50 (2″) up to DN300 (12″) with a mechanical indicator and optional pulse output. The WPI-SDC flow meter is ideal for irrigation and agricultural applications where flows may contain solid particles.
