Collection:Flow meter components: sensor fittings and electronics

Flow meter components are the separate parts of a Bürkert flow meter, sold on their own. An inline paddle wheel meter uses two of them: a sensor fitting installed in the pipe, and a transmitter that picks up its pulses and gives the output. The parts are sold separately to put a meter together, to add a transmitter to a fitting already in the pipe, or to replace one part without changing the other.

What this covers

The components are the two halves of a meter:

• Sensor fittings: the parts that join the pipe and hold the wetted measuring element. This covers the S030 inline fitting, which holds the paddle wheel, and the S020 insertion fitting, which gives an insertion meter's probe a port into the pipe.
• Transmitter electronics: the SE30, SE32, and SE35 modules that take the signal from an S030 fitting and turn it into a display and an output.

Assembling or replacing a meter

A working inline meter needs a fitting and a transmitter together. Choose the fitting for the pipe and liquid, and the transmitter for the output and display. Buying the parts separately also allows one part to be replaced: the transmitter can be swapped for a different output without touching the pipe, or the fitting changed without replacing the electronics.

Frequently asked questions

Which parts make a complete inline meter?

An S030 sensor fitting plus an SE transmitter. The S030 holds the paddle wheel in the pipe, and the SE30, SE32, or SE35 picks it up and gives the display and output. Neither measures flow on its own, so both are needed.

Why buy a transmitter or fitting on its own?

To replace one part, or to change the output without replacing the whole meter. The same S030 fitting takes any of the SE transmitters, so the output can be upgraded by swapping only the electronics, and a worn fitting replaced while keeping the transmitter.
