Paddlewheel, Adjustable Insertion

2 products

Experience ease and flexibility with our Paddlewheel Adjustable Insertion Flowmeters. These flowmeters feature insertion probes that house paddlewheels rotating in response to liquid flow. Their adjustable design means you can place them directly into pipes without cutting or disrupting flow—perfect for retrofit applications. Built for durability and long-term service, they deliver high-accuracy measurements in HVAC, water utilities, and industrial environments. Quick to install and easy to maintain, these instruments offer dependable performance for system optimization and diagnostics.

Frequently Asked Questions

An adjustable insertion design allows a single sensor to be used across multiple pipe diameters, providing maximum flexibility for Australian industrial piping systems. HK Calibrations supplies these versatile meters to help facilities reduce inventory costs while maintaining precise flow monitoring across various line sizes.

To achieve an accurate reading, the sensor must be positioned at a specific depth where the flow profile is most stable, typically at 1/8th of the pipe ID. HK Calibrations provides clear indexing and adjustment scales on our insertion tools to ensure your measurements remain consistent and compliant with Australian standards.

Many of our adjustable insertion models are compatible with "hot tap" valves, allowing for installation or removal without shutting down the entire water or chemical line. HK Calibrations recommends this solution for Australian utility and processing plants that require continuous operation and minimal system downtime.

Our range features high-grade materials such as 316 stainless steel, CPVC, or PVDF to resist corrosion and wear in harsh Australian environments. HK Calibrations ensures these sensors are rugged enough to handle everything from treated water to aggressive industrial chemicals while maintaining NMI-traceable accuracy.

Insertion meters measure velocity at a single point, so turbulence from nearby elbows or pumps can lead to significant measurement errors. HK Calibrations advises installing these units in straight pipe runs to ensure the paddlewheel captures a representative flow rate for your monitoring and control systems.

To ensure long-term reliability and ISO compliance, it is recommended to have your flow sensors professionally verified every 12 months. HK Calibrations offers expert calibration services with a 48-hour turnaround to keep your Australian infrastructure and processing equipment performing at peak efficiency.
