I. INTRODUCTION
Flo-tech turbine flow sensors measure the flow rate of hydraulic fluid and compatible liquids. Built to
withstand rigorous hydraulic applications, these flow sensors are available in anodized aluminum and zinc
plated Stressproof® steel bodies. Port types vary by body material, but include a choice of SAE, BSPP, Code
61 and Code 62, 4-bolt flanged options.
Typical applications for the turbine flow sensors include:
• Fluid characteristic measurement on test stands
• Stationary hydraulic system monitoring
• Feedback for hydraulic system control
• Advance warning of impending component failure
• Mobile hydraulic system diagnosis
Flo-tech offers four different flow sensor models. Each of these models is available in a wide selection of
flow ranges and port sizes.
