The Truflo TIB Paddle Wheel  chemical flow meter is a permanent flow measurement system that is ideal for measuring accurate flow of toxic and corrosive chemicals in industrial environments. Advantages of TIB flow meters include: all plastic body – so no chemical reaction with flowing medium, the flow meter is battery powered – so no power or costly cabling required, no re-calibration needed, zero maintenance required, easy replacement, retrofit into Signet® type fitting.

Other flow meters such as stainless steel turbine flow meters are extremely expensive suffer from wear and tear over time and require system shutdowns for periodic maintenance, thus reducing the uptime of your plant and overall profitability.

The Truflo TIB Chemical Flow Meter has a wide pipe size range (½ – 24″) to be a cost-effective and smart replacement to existing in-line flow meters that require thousands of dollars to repair or replace.

The TIB Battery Operated flow meters are easy to install with exceptional long life performance. Truflo TIB Series Paddle Wheel Flow Sensors are highly repeatable, rugged sensors that offer exceptional value with little or no maintenance. The TIB Series has a process-ready open collector signal with a wide dynamic flow range of 0.1 to 10 m/s (0.3 to 33 ft/s) and is sensitive to high as well as low flow velocities.. The sensor measures liquid flow rates in full pipes and can be used in low pressure systems.  This guarantees accurate, stable and reliable results even in extreme measurement conditions.

The Truflo TIB is an affordable flow meter and can be used with your exiting Signet® type fittings which makes this a versatile solution for retrofit installations on existing pipes without the need for further pipe cutting, or shutting down the process or system for prolonged periods of time. This reduces your installation costs and allows for easy installation in challenging environments thus bringing the operational risk factor to zero.

The Truflo TIB Series sensors are offered in a variety of materials for a wide range of pipe sizes and insertion configurations. The many material choices including PVC, PP and PVDF make the model highly versatile and chemically compatible to many liquid process solutions. Sensors can be installed in ½ – 24″ pipes using Truflo’s comprehensive line of custom fittings. These custom fittings, which include tees, saddles and weldolets, seat the sensor to the proper insertion depth into the process flow.
