Supported Applications
The Omega FP7000 series, specifically the FP7001A model, is a fixed-length insertion paddlewheel flow and temperature meter designed for monitoring typical industrial water flows. The sensor accommodates hard-to-handle corrosive aqueous solutions and high purity fluids using polypropylene bodies with 316SS shafts.
Applications are restricted to non-flammable, non-hazardous liquids up to 5 centipoise viscosity. The FP7001A is not explosion-proof or intrinsically safe; it must not be used for flammable or hazardous liquids nor in hazardous areas. Additionally, the sensor is intended only for water and low-viscosity liquids and cannot measure oils or other viscous materials.
Operating Conditions & Performance
The FP7001A measures flow rates from 2 to 460 GPM depending on the fitting size, with a temperature measurement range of 2° to 150°C (36° to 302°F). Flow accuracy is specified as ±2% of full scale, while temperature accuracy is ±1°C. Repeatability for flow measurements is ±1% of full scale.
Pressure ratings are dependent on the fitting material and process temperature. For PVC tee fittings, do not exceed 150 psig at 27°C (80°F), with derating to 100 psig at 38°C (100°F), 60 psig at 49°C (120°F), and 30 psig at 60°C (140°F). The sensor requires a minimum flow velocity of one fps. Minimum GPM requirements vary by pipe size: ¾" = 1.5 GPM; 1" = 3 GPM; 1¼" = 4.5 GPM; 1½" = 6.5 GPM; 2" = 10.5 GPM; 2½" = 15 GPM; and 3" = 23 GPM.
Configuration Options
The series provides simultaneous flow and temperature measurement via a paddlewheel rotor converted to an electrical signal by an open collector Hall Effect sensor. A built-in solid-state temperature sensor delivers the thermal output.
- Output Signals: High-level square wave pulse (5 to 18 V amplitude) for flow; TTL level pulse when powered by FPW-5, and a 10 mV/°C analog voltage output for temperature.
- Power Supply: Operates on 5 to 18 Vdc @ 10 mA maximum. The FPW-15 (120 Vac converter) provides 15 Vdc at 400 mA, and the FLSC-100 transmitter module is available.
- Process Connections: Compatible with Schedule 40 PVC tee fittings or galvanized iron tee fittings. NPT pipe sizes range from 3/4 to 3 inches. Each system includes a locking nut (PVC for PVC tees, brass for galvanized iron).
- Wetted Materials: The FP7001A sensor features a polypropylene body, PVDF paddle, FKM O-ring, and 316SS shaft. Galvanized iron tees include brass inserts; PVC tees use PVC inserts.
Key Product Differences
The FP7001A is the primary model in this series, configured with a polypropylene body and 316SS shaft including a temperature sensor. The system requires ordering as a matched transmitter/fitting set; each unit comes factory calibrated.
Installation fittings are specific to pipe size and material type (PVC or Galvanized Iron). Models include FP7007 through FP7030 for PVC applications and corresponding -GI suffix models for galvanized iron. The series is not compatible with FP-5300, FMG-5300 Series installation fittings, nor the FPM 5500/5740.

Show Ratings & Reviews
Hi! we are interested in your Insertion Paddlewheel Flow Sensors, Article FP7001A. How long it takes the shipment? Do you delivery in México City?, Can we get an invoice? We need a Sensor that the cost included the shipment is aprox $265.00 US Dollar.
We can prepare a formal quote for the paddle wheel sensor in question and will need to advise on the pipe diameter you wish to install it. Also, the quote will have the estimated ship date from our NJ facility. It will best to email at flow@omega.com with additional information and can quote the sensor and the required fitting for your application. Thank you.
