Flowmeters Engineered To Be Better

Flomec QS100 Turf Irrigation Flow Sensor
QS100 Turf Irrigation Flow Sensor

The FLOMEC® QS100 Ultrasonic Turf Irrigation Flow Sensor has NO moving parts and NO flow restrictions, making it nearly INDESTRUCTIBLE.

 

It’s SO ACCURATE it senses a dripping faucet. The QS100 measures water flow rates 5X LOWER than competing flow sensors. It literally senses leaky valves, blockages, and other problems.

This 1-inch flow sensor is not only economically priced but is also excellent for commercial and residential irrigation flow detection and measurement of small leaks and line breaks.

The ability to detect flows down to 0.22 GPM makes it ideal for low-flow drip zones. In addition to its low-flow capabilities, ultra-sonic technology means no moving parts to wear out or fail when winterizing systems using compressed air.

Benefits:

  • Low-cost, effective, and easy installation
  • No moving mechanical parts (low-maintenance)
  • Simple two-wire connector (for power and pulse)
  • Compatible with irrigation controllers (common name brands)
  • High accuracy: ± 2.0% of reading (compared to full-scale accuracy)
  • Provides extended leak detection down to 0.1 fps (0.03 m/s)
  • LED light indicators: (green for power and amber for pulse)
  • Patented design
  • Ideal for clean water flow measurement
  • With the optional NSF61 rated version, these meters are perfect for those applications where drinking quality water is required External wiring: (direct burial wire)

Applications:

  • Agriculture Irrigation
  • Turf | Landscape Irrigation Systems
  • Micro Irrigation Systems
  • Groundwater Monitoring
  • Potable Water (NSF61 Certified Version Available)
  • Sub-Metering Applications:
  • High Rise Tenant Buildings
  • Apartment Complex
  • Universities
  • Commercial Businesses
  • Processing Facilities

Flomec QS200 Turf Irrigation Flow Sensor
Flomec QS200 Turf Irrigation Flow Sensor


FLOMEC’s QS200 IS THE MOST ACCURATE WATER FLOW SENSOR IN THE IRRIGATION INDUSTRY

Why? The QS200 Turf Irrigation Flow Sensor measures water flow rates 5x lower than other flow sensors on the market AND offers extended leak detection down to 0.1 feet per second. That means it can detect leaking valves, blockages, and other hidden irrigation system problems that other flow sensors can’t.

HERE’S THE PROBLEM WITH MOST FLOW SENSORS IN COMMERCIAL IRRIGATION APPLICATIONS.

Paddlewheel, nutating disc, and other standard flow sensors have mechanical parts that must start moving before the sensor can detect any flow. For the mechanical parts to begin moving, the flow rate must be high enough to overcome friction.

That may not be a problem with some applications, where mechanical flow sensors work well, but commercial irrigation is different. The low flows typical in drip lines and bubblers often aren’t enough to get those mechanical parts moving.

So what happens? The sensor reads “no flow” even when there IS flow in the pipe – it’s just below that sensor’s ability to see it – that’s a RED HERRING! Getting a “No Flow” reading could hide small system leaks. These small leaks add up to significant losses over time.

 Benefits:

  • High accuracy and repeatability, direct volumetric reading
  • Measures high and low viscosity liquids
  • No requirement for flow conditioning (straight pipe runs)
  • Quadrature pulse output option and bi-directional flow
  • Optional Exd I/IIB approval (ATEX, IECEx)
  • Only two moving parts

Applications:

  • Batching
  • Food & Beverage Processing
  • Irrigation
  • Fuel Products
  • High Water Volume Mixing
  • Chemical Feed Lines
  • Pharmaceuticals
  • High Precision / High Pressure
  • Thin Viscosity Fluids Under 100 Centipoise
