General Information
The IP80 Series are impeller-type insertion meters de-
signed for use in pipe sizes 1/2" to 8". High-quality jewel
bearings and nickel-bound tungsten carbide shaft are
used for maximum life and extreme low friction. Bodies
are machined from solid rod for maximum precision. Low-
flow performance is superior. The rotation of the rotor is
detected by a non-drag Hall-effect sensor. Output is a
pulse-type square wave, which can be sent long dis-
tances (up to 2,000 feet) without a transmitter. This sig-
nal can be connected directly to SeaMetrics controls, as
well as PLC's, counters, and computer cards.
SeaMetrics IP meters are ideal for chemical proportion-
ing applications. If no display is required, a simple di-
vider such as the PD10 provides adjustable pump pac-
ing. For rate and total display, as well as pump pacing,
the FT415/420 flow indicator can be mounted directly
on the IP80 Series, or remotely on a wall or panel.
The IP80 Series require special fittings, since they are
not depth-adjustable as are the IP 100/200 series meters.
Installation in the fitting ensures correct depth placement
in the pipe. Fittings are available in PVC, brass, and
stainless steel. Sensors are available in brass, 316 stain-
less steel, PVC, and polypropylene. In plastic pipe
3"-8", use an IP82 sensor, which is 1.00" longer than the
IP81 to accommodate the larger fittings.
