EPG E-Series Liquid Flow SensorEPG Companies Flow Sensor uses a special axle and dual magnet drum design that takes the magnets out of the paddles. One major problem with most paddlewheel-type flow sensors having magnets in the paddles is that metal particles tend to stick to the magnets. The collecting material then causes a change in the flow characteristics in the paddle. EPG's dual magnetic drum design, with rapidly changing polarity and fluid velocity, causes the metallic particles to drop off into the flow stream and then are swept away.

INSTALLATION HINTS
- Pipe must be full for accurate reading.
- Minimum velocity is 1.5 ft./second. Recommended maximum velocity is 27 ft./second. The flow must be uniform at the point where the flow sensor is installed or an incorrect reading will result.
- To accommodate a uniform flow, allow at least ten (10) pipe diameters upstream and five (5) pipe diameters downstream of the flow sensor. Non-uniform flow is often caused by elbows, partially open valves or an increase in pipe diameter.
