IR-Opflow PVDF Precision Flowmeters
Corrosion resistant flow sensor
Manufactured in PVDF (polyvinylidene fluoride) the
IR-Opflow Sensor is a precise volumetric flow meter.
Incoming liquid is forced into a twisting motion by
spiral surfaces molded into the inflow section. This
causes a miniature rotor to turn, virtually friction
free. Each time the rotor spins, the blade interrupts a
beam of infrared light generating a series of pulses
that can be measured.
The precision of the IR-Opflow is not influenced
by either the pressure or volume variations.
The patented rotor design prevents air or gas bub-
bles from becoming trapped in the flowtube,
making the IR-Opflow flowsensor not only rugged but
extremely accurate.
