Flow Sensor A compact, reliable flow sensor for measuring liquid flow in inline systems. Designed for easy integration with standard controllers and monitoring equipment, this sensor converts liquid flow into a clean electrical signal for counting, frequency measurement, or analog processing. Key benefits Accurate flow monitoring: Provides a stable pulse or frequency output that represents actual flow rate, enabling timely control and reliable data logging. Easy integration: Standard electrical output and mounting threads allow quick connection to controllers, data loggers, or flow monitoring systems without complex wiring. Low maintenance and long service life: Robust internal components and a corrosion resistant housing reduce wear and build up, minimizing downtime and maintenance effort. Problem solving: Detects leaks, blockages, and pump failures early by continuously reporting flow changes, helping prevent system damage and reduce operational costs. Flexible installation: Available in inline styles and common pipe sizes to fit residential, commercial, and industrial plumbing and process lines. Function and performance Function: Measures the volumetric flow of liquids and outputs a proportional electrical signal for counting or frequency measurement. Suitable for digital pulse counting and analog conversion. Output types: Commonly available as pulse or frequency signals compatible with microcontrollers, PLCs, counters, and data acquisition systems. Response: Fast response to flow changes for accurate transient detection and process control. Pressure drop: Designed to minimize pressure loss across the sensor for efficient system operation. Reliability: Engineered for consistent performance in continuous monitoring applications. Compatibility and installation Control systems: Compatible with Arduino, Raspberry Pi, PLCs, counters, flow controllers, and many industrial data loggers that accept pulse or frequency inputs. Mechanical: Designed for inline mounting using standard thread sizes or flanges, suitable for integration into existing piping runs with typical fittings. Liquids: Intended for use with clean water and common process liquids. Avoid use with liquids containing large solid particles unless a filtration step is installed. Materials and size Housing: Durable thermoplastic or engineered polymer housing for corrosion resistance and mechanical strength. Internal components: Wearresistant rotor and bearings for long operational life. Size options: Offered in multiple nominal pipe sizes suitable for small bore plumbing up to larger process lines to match flow ranges and installation needs. Use scenarios Building water management: Monitor flow to detect leaks and verify consumption on hot water loops, chilled water circuits, and domestic supply lines. Industrial process control: Provide realtime flow feedback to pump controllers and PLCs for consistent dosing, mixing, and process batching. Agricultural and irrigation systems: Measure flow to manage irrigation schedules, detect clogged lines, and ensure uniform distribution across zones. What makes this sensor stand out Practical electrical outputs that integrate readily with common control platforms. Durable construction for continuous duty environments. Compact form factor and multiple size options for straightforward retrofit into existing systems. Ordering notes Select the correct nominal pipe size and output type for your application. Confirm compatibility with your control hardware and mounting fittings before installation. For liquids containing suspended solids, include a prefilter to protect the sensor rotor and extend service life.
