The KOBOLD DPL all-plastic paddle-wheel flow sensor is a versatile transmitter capable of accurately measuring flow rates to 400 GPH. It is ideal for applications requiring low cost, yet accurate flow measurement of transparent liquid media. All wetted parts are made of synthetic materials, giving the sensor excellent resistance to aggressive media. The compact size of the DPL makes it an ideal candidate for jobs requiring a minimum installation size, such as in the interior of larger systems. These features make the flow sensor a suitable choice for a wide variety of industrial, commercial and laboratory flow applications.
Flow Direction Specification May Be Required
**Important: This flow meter (model dependent) may require flow direction specification to complete your order.
While our product number identifies the meter's core specifications, flow direction is a critical parameter for certain models that must be specified separately to ensure proper performance and installation.
Why Flow Direction Matters
Flow meters are precision instruments engineered with internal components optimized for fluid movement in a specific direction, for certain models. Installing a meter that requires flow direction with an incorrect flow direction will not allow it to function properly.
What We Need From You
Please read the datasheet order table carefully (including any asterisks) and if your model requires a flow direction please specify your desired flow direction, in addition to your part number, when placing your order.
Flow directions are option/model-dependent but may include the following choices:
- Top to Bottom
- Bottom to Top
- Left to Right
- Right to Left
We cannot process orders without the required flow direction specification, if it is needed. Orders submitted that are missing this information are likely to experience delays in processing.
If you're unsure of your flow direction, our technical team is ready to assist you in determining the correct specification based on your system requirements at 412-788-2830 or customerservice@koboldusa.com.
Important Notice: Transitioning to U.S. Manufacturing
Due to the ongoing implementation of EU Directive 2020/2184 that restricts brass materials, product availability is subject to change at any time. We are actively reshoring production of our brass flowmeter models to U.S. facilities to ensure continued supply. Not all products can/will be reshored. During this transition, stock availability may fluctuate between the time of quotation and purchase order placement. We appreciate your patience as we work to establish our domestic supply chain and remain committed to providing you with the same high-quality products made closer to home.
