I don't know what PPR is but I assume PPR is ratio, isn't it? For fans, ratio is typically=2 (2 pulses per rev). If ratio=2 then real frequency is 255*2 so flowrate will be 5.10 LPM. Leave ratio=1 if you can, it's easier to calculate in mind.
Yes, I believe PPR is pulses per rev. Standard PPR for fans seems to be 2. So I guess this meter should be 1. That is certainly good news but still not what I was hoping for. This means that meter is very restrictive. That is 1.34GPM. I was getting 2GPM with the same block with the other flow meter with a lot more piping. Damn....

Thanks for your help!
