Q. Should I use an IP (insertion paddlewheel) or a TX (insertion turbine) meter?

A.
Unless you are trying to measure down to fairly low flows, you can use the IP81 (paddlewheel), which is less expensive. The TX (turbine) is better near the bottom of the flow range, because a turbine drives with the entire rotor, not just half of it.
