K-Factors
When using the PULSE DIVIDER mode, associated equipment must divide the K-Factors by the P-Factor.
A K-Factor is the number of pulses a sensor will generate for each engineering unit of À uid that passes the sensor. K-Factors for water
are listed below in U.S. gallons and liters. For example, in a 1 inch SCH 80 PVC pipe, using the MPV8T010 PVC ¿ tting, the 2537
paddlewheel generates 335.53 pulses per gallon of water passing the rotor.
