The KOBOLD DTK pelton wheel flow sensor was designed for the high volume OEM market. The compact pelton wheel design requires no inlet or outlet straight piping runs, allowing the device to be installed in locations where space is at a premium. It employs a very simple design. A nozzle built into the inlet fitting directs flow into an impeller with embedded permanent magnets. Impeller rotation is detected by a Hall effect sensor as liquid flow causes the paddle to rotate. The sensor generates a pulse each time a magnet passes, and the pulse frequency is directly proportional to flow rate. The pelton wheel design provides a very repeatable and linear output. The DTK is supplied as standard with a stainless steel metal body for use with a wide variety of compatible, water-based liquids. The simple and reliable design of the flow sensor makes it an economical choice for many 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.
