The most common application is in a system where the fluid is similar to water and additional variables like pH/ORP, conductivity, pressure, temperature, and level are monitored. The turbine spins on its axis due to the flowing liquid or gas, and the spin rate is proportional to the flow velocity. Superior flow rates, lower maintenance costs, and easier installation than most other flow meters are some of the benefits and drawbacks of paddle wheel flow meters. They can monitor large flow rates with minimal pressure loss.
