DESCRIPTION 

The Rota Pulse Flow Sensor (RPFS) paddlewheel insertion type flowmeter uses a proven 
principle  of  flow  measurement,  which  is  used  worldwide.  The  RPFS  comes  in  four  model 
variants: 

 

RPFS-P

 for liquids up to   50

C (plug-in cable) 

 

RPFS-H

 for liquids up to 120

C  

 

 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

   RPFS-P 

 

All model variants insert directly into a large range of pipe adapter fittings available in PVC, Galvanized Iron, Brass, Stainless 
Steel or Polypipe materials, covering pipe sizes 20 to 110mm (standard sizes). This makes the RPFS suitable for a wide range of 
liquid flow measurement, monitoring and batching applications. Using the BSPB & BSPSS fittings adaption to larger size pipes is 
possible depending on pipe wall thickness, alternatively the Long Stem (-LS) versions with adaptors are then used. 

 

With only one moving part and limited intrusion into the pipe, and combined with its flow-through design, the RPFS allows 
accurate measurement of liquid flows with virtually no head losses. 

 

Each of the 4 blades of the rotor (paddlewheel) extends approximately one centimetre into the flowing liquid. The RPFS-P sensor 
generates a square wave pulse with the frequency output proportional to flow velocity and proportional to pipe diameter. The 
RPFS-P incorporates internal amplification, allowing pulse transmission up to 1000 metres to the receiver device. The RPFS-P 
model is specially constructed  with a metal shielding jacket making it immune to electrical interference.  

 

Magnets are not used in the RPFS models, thereby eliminating iron particles jamming the rotor. The alloy rotor used also makes 
the RPFS less susceptible to interference from turbulence and particles hitting the rotor, thereby giving superior flow results.
