GENERAL INFORMATION

The IP800-Series are impeller (or "paddlewheel") insertion
meters designed for use with a wide variety of liquids
in pipe sizes 1/2" to 8". Sensors are available in brass,
316 stainless steel, PVC, and polypropylene. Bodies are
machined from a solid rod for maximum precision. High-
quality jewel bearings and nickel-bound tungsten carbide
shafts are used for extreme low friction and long life. Low-
flow performance is good, although other Seametrics flow
meters are recommended where extremely low flows are
being measured.
The rotation of the rotor is detected by a non-drag Hall-
effect sensor. Output is a current-sinking pulse, which
can be sent long distances (up to 2,000 feet) without a
transmitter. This signal can be connected directly to PLC's,
counters, and computer cards, as well as a variety of
Seametrics controls and displays.
Seametrics IP meters are ideal for chemical proportioning
applications. If no display is required, a simple divider such
as the PD10 provides adjustable pump pacing. For rate

and total display, a modular system of electronics can be
installed directly on the flow sensor or mounted remotely.
The FT430 (externally powered with pulse), FT440 (loop
powered), and FT450 (battery powered) all provide digital
rate and total displays, as well as a programmable pulse;
the FT440 also provides a 4-20 mA analog output. The
AO55 blind analog transmitter can be used to convert to a
4-20 mA output. Electronic modules can be wall- or meter-
mounted. (Note: PD10 available only as wall mounted unit.)
IP meters are also compatible with the DL76 data logger
and FT520 batch processor.
The IP800-Series require special fittings that ensure correct
depth placement in the pipe. Fittings come in a variety
of materials for compatibility with specific applications.
Tee fittings are individually wet-calibrated at the factory
and marked with the K-factor (pulses per gallon). Saddle
fittings must be field-installed on the pipe and do not
come wet-calibrated. K-factors for saddles are based on
factory-testing.
