{"title":"Bürkert S030 inline paddle wheel sensor fittings for SE30, SE32 and SE35","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Bürkert S030 is the sensor-fitting half of an inline paddle wheel flow meter. It is a pipe section fitted in the line to hold the paddle wheel in the flow, in stainless steel, brass, PVC, PP, or PVDF to match the liquid and the line. On its own it does not measure anything: an SE30, SE32, or SE35 transmitter on the bayonet seat on top turns the wheel's pulses into a reading. Order an S030 with one of those transmitters to make a working meter. It suits clean, low-viscosity liquids only, because solids or fibers foul the wheel.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eMatching the fitting to the line\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eChoose the S030 by its body material, how it joins the pipe, and the seal.

The same transmitters also fit the S077 oval-gear fitting, so the electronics can be reused if the line later switches measuring type.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eDoes the S030 measure flow by itself?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. The S030 holds the paddle wheel and the wetted parts, but the pulse signal needs an SE transmitter to become a flow reading and an output. Without a transmitter, the fitting cannot drive a display, an alarm, or a control system.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eWhich seal stands up to clean-in-place cycles?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eEPDM suits the hot water and caustic cleaning used in clean-in-place, so it is the common choice on lines cleaned often. FKM, the right seal for oils and fuels, is not suited to hot caustic cleaning, so check the cleaning method before choosing an FKM-sealed S030 for those liquids.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0572\/1787\/6152\/collections\/188cd4afb318-s030_005_a_ssweldend.png?v=1782956924","url":"https:\/\/tameson.com\/collections\/burkert-s030-paddle-wheel-flow-meter-fittings-327038.oembed","provider":"Tameson.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
