Kobold DPM - Pelton Wheel Flow Sensor

The KOBOLD DPM Pelton wheel flow sensor delivers precise flow measurement of water and water-based, low-viscosity, optically transparent liquids in a remarkably compact form factor ideal for space-constrained installations. Employing an innovative design where liquid passes through a precision nozzle and impinges directly onto a flat-blade Pelton turbine, this sensor provides exceptional accuracy (±1.5% of full scale for advanced models) while requiring no straight pipe runs before or after installation. The robust construction featuring brass or 316L stainless steel housing options combined with a sapphire axle/bearing assembly ensures outstanding durability and extended service life even in demanding industrial environments. Multiple output options—from basic frequency pulse signals to sophisticated 4-20 mA outputs and programmable compact electronics with integrated digital display—provide flexible integration with various control systems while maintaining measurement consistency across flow ranges from 0.24 GPH to 80 GPH. The sensor's versatile design allows mounting in any orientation with the axle maintained in the horizontal plane, facilitating straightforward installation in challenging locations while delivering reliable performance with an operating temperature range of -10°F to 176°F and pressure ratings up to 230 PSIG.
