The FP-AS paddlewheel flow meter features patented AxleSense technology, SGS tested, RoHS compliant, with double the measuring range of other brands. It detects paddle loss, preventing zero-flow issues, and includes large indicator lights and a big screen for easier on-site supervision.
Catalog MANUAL Firmware Change Log
Paddle wheel flow meter measure flow by using fluid to drive the rotation of blades, with the rotational speed proportional to the flow rate. Suitable for measuring low-viscosity liquids like water, oil, and chemicals, these meters are characterized by moderate accuracy, quick response, and easy installation and maintenance. Due to direct contact with the liquid, regular cleaning and inspection are required.
Traditional paddle wheel flow meter often have significant errors or cannot detect flow at low flow rates in the fluid inside the pipe. Upgrade your flow measurement capabilities with LORRIC's AxleSense technology! No more worries about inaccurate readings or missed low flow rates. Our advanced innovation ensures enhanced accuracy and a broader measurement range, spanning from 0.15 m/s to 10 m/s—double that of competing brands.
AxleSense's patented technology enables bidirectional flow detection by measuring paddlewheel rotation direction, overcoming the limitations of other brands that use Hall effect sensors, which can detect rotation but not direction. This technology also provides fluid flow direction information, positive/negative/net flow calculations, and a 14-day history of daily accumulations, optimizing operations and enhancing on-site management efficiency.
Provides clear paddle anomaly alerts, essential for Industry 4.0 integration. It quickly resolves flow issues by syncing with factory management systems. Built-in magnetic sensing checks paddlewheel magnet strength, ensuring consistent flow accuracy through regular monitoring and scheduled replacements.
Adjust the viewing direction of the screen according to the piping direction, which is convenient for flow monitoring in different piping situations. Learn more: How to Install Paddle Wheel Flow Meter
Experience the pinnacle of durability with LORRIC's precision-turned pipe fittings. Crafted from extruded rod material, these fittings offer unwavering size consistency and a flawless, wave-free inner surface. The result? Reduced disturbances and higher measurement precision. With superior strength compared to injection-molded alternatives, our machined plastic pipe fittings eliminate concerns like flash, short shots, and weld lines. Say goodbye to compromises and embrace the reliability and quality you deserve.
Traditional plastic injection molding methods often result in uneven surfaces and wave-like patterns on the inner walls of tee fittings. This is because the melted plastic is compressed, causing greater shrinkage in thicker areas. As a consequence, the pipe's cross-sectional area becomes inconsistent, leading to unstable fluid flow and inaccurate calculations. Additionally, injection-molded fittings are prone to issues like flash, short shots, and weak weld lines, making them more susceptible to damage over time. In contrast, LORRIC's tee fittings are manufactured using a different approach, ensuring smooth and reliable performance while overcoming the limitations of conventional techniques.
FU-ES supports various communication modes like Analog output with self-powered 16-bit 4-20mA, Modbus RTU RS485, 2-wire photoelectric switch signal (compatible with NPN/PNP).

Traditional pulse output paddle wheel flow meter use a constant K-value across the entire range, leading to higher errors, especially at varying flow rates. For instance, a conventional paddle wheel flow meter in a DN15 pipe outputs one signal every 90 degrees, with 106.55 pulses equaling 1L, regardless of flow speed. LORRIC’s exclusive Pulse 2.0, powered by AxleSense technology, outputs one pulse per 0.01L, reducing errors by adjusting for different flow speeds.
The FP-AS series offers two versions: FP-AS310, an entry-level model ideal for applications requiring multiple flow meter installations at a cost-effective price; and FP-AS510, which provides more advanced features, making it suitable for complex operating conditions.
⚠ Safety instructions: 1. After the warranty, the electronic components of the product will age due to time and operating environment. Under long-term use, please replace the new product according to the condition of the product. 2. Do not operate the product under an Orange or Red LCD Backlight for a long time. Product damage and related losses may occur. Conditions and Disclaimer: CONDITIONS: Equipment sold by LORRIC is not intended to be used, nor shall it be used: (1) As a "Basic Component" under 10 CFR 21 (NRC), used in or with any nuclear installation or activity; or (2) In medical applications or used on humans. Should any product(s) be used in or with any nuclear installation or activity, medical application, used on humans, or misused in any way, LORRIC assumes no responsibility as set forth in our basic WARRANTY/ DISCLAIMER language, and, additionally, purchaser will indemnify LORRIC and hold LORRIC harmless from any liability or damage whatsoever arising out of the use of the product(s) in such a manner. DISCLAIMER: Please be aware that magnetic fields or residual magnetism may cause interference to the flowmeter which may result in damage if they are used near the installation site. The purchaser must determine the applicability of the product for its desired use and assumes all risks in connection therewith. LORRIC assumes no responsibility or liability for any omissions or errors in connection with the use of its products. The alarm used to detect paddle damage or loss is intended to assist on-site operators to find out what is causing equipment abnormalities. Because there are a myriad of variables involved with on-site operation and magnetic fields that come from other equipment, the alarm function is liable to fail. Please do not take the alarm function as a single source for monitoring your flow system. Please contact LORRIC for advanced help.
