Applications
GF flow sensors can be used in a wide
variety of fluid media types.
Flow rate measurements can be conducted in media ranging from highly pure to highly
contaminated, and allows a tailor made solution for almost any application in accordance
with the application requirements. Refer to the charts for sensor recommendations.

Measuring Principals
GF flow sensors have a variety of
measurement types to fit your needs
All GF flow sensors belong to the broad category of velocity-based flow measurement
devices. Here is a general overview. Principles of operation vary considerably. Choose
the appropriate sensor for optimal flow measurement results.

Turbine flow rate measurements
– 2100 Turbine flow sensors are full-bore
devices designed for low flow
measurements. Similar to paddlewheels,
they rely on the energy in the flow stream
to spin a rotor (turbine). The difference is
Flow
the shaft is in the center of, and parallel
to, the flow stream. The velocity of the
liquid spins the turbine for detection by
external electronic circuitry, producing
a transistor-type square wave with a
frequency directly proportional to the
flow rate.

Temperature/
Pressure Graphs
Note:
The pressure/temperature graphs are specifically for the Signet sensor. During system design the specifications of all
components must be considered. In the case of a metal piping system, a plastic sensor will reduce the system specification.
When using a PVDF sensor in a PVC piping system, the fitting will reduce the system specification.
