Paddlewheel, Fixed Insertion

2 products

Our Paddlewheel Fixed Insertion Flowmeters offer long-term accuracy and durability by being permanently installed into a pipeline. Using paddlewheels that rotate in response to flow, they provide steady, high-resolution measurements with low pressure drop. Ideal for continuous monitoring in industrial water systems, manufacturing lines, and HVAC setups, they minimize maintenance needs while delivering real-time analytics. Their solid build and reliable performance make them a trusted choice for environments where consistent flow measurement is mission-critical.

Frequently Asked Questions

Fixed insertion meters are manufactured to a specific length for a dedicated pipe size, ensuring the sensor is always positioned at the optimal depth for accuracy. HK Calibrations provides these units for Australian facilities that require a "set and forget" solution with reduced risk of installation error or depth misalignment.

The primary benefit is the elimination of calibration drift caused by moving parts or shifting sensor depth, providing highly repeatable data for process control. HK Calibrations stocks these robust sensors because they offer superior stability and a simplified installation process for standard Australian industrial piping.

Yes, because they lack the sliding adjustment seals of adjustable models, fixed insertion meters from HK Calibrations often feature higher pressure ratings and more secure mounting. This makes them ideal for demanding Australian mining and water treatment environments where system integrity is paramount.

Our range includes high-performance materials such as stainless steel, brass, and chemically resistant plastics to suit a variety of liquid types. HK Calibrations ensures that every fixed sensor is built to withstand the specific corrosive or abrasive nature of your local industrial or commercial fluid systems.

Maintenance involves periodic cleaning of the paddle wheel and checking for any mineral build-up or debris that could impede rotation. HK Calibrations recommends regular visual inspections to ensure the mechanical components remain in peak condition, preserving the integrity of your NMI-traceable flow data.

To remain compliant with Australian ISO quality standards, we recommend a professional calibration check every 12 months to verify the sensor's K-factor. HK Calibrations provides a rapid 48-hour turnaround service to ensure your fixed flow monitoring systems continue to deliver precise and reliable measurements.
