Water flow sensor

The Water Flow Sensor is a device used to measure the flow rate of water or other liquids. It is commonly used in various applications such as water flow monitoring, irrigation systems, and industrial process control. The sensor typically provides an output signal that can be interfaced with a microcontroller or other electronic systems for real-time monitoring and control.

Key Features:

• Measures flow rate of water or compatible liquids
• Provides an output signal that can be read by microcontrollers or digital systems
• Compact and durable design for easy integration
• Suitable for use in a wide range of flow measurement applications
• Provides pulse output that corresponds to the flow rate

Technical Specifications:

• Type: Flow sensor with a rotating blade or turbine mechanism
• Flow Rate Range: Typically from 1 to 30 liters per minute (varies by model)
• Output Signal: Pulse frequency (digital signal)
• Operating Voltage: 5V to 24V DC
• Temperature Range: -10°C to +80°C
• Accuracy: ±5% of the measured value (varies by model)
• Connection Type: Typically includes three wires for power, ground, and output signal
• Body Material: Plastic or brass, depending on the model
• Mounting Type: Threaded or clamped for secure installation

Applications:

• Water flow monitoring in irrigation systems
• Industrial process control and monitoring
• Home water management systems
• Liquid measurement in laboratories and research
• Automotive and marine applications

Usage:

1. Install the sensor in the flow path of the water or liquid, ensuring correct orientation as specified by the manufacturer.
2. Connect the sensor to a suitable power source (typically 5V to 24V DC).
3. Connect the output signal wire to a microcontroller or display system to read the flow rate.
4. Calibrate the sensor if necessary according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
5. Monitor the output signal to determine the flow rate of the liquid.

Caution:

• Ensure the sensor is installed correctly and securely to avoid leaks or damage.
• Do not exceed the maximum flow rate or temperature ratings to prevent damage.
• Regularly check and maintain the sensor to ensure accurate measurements.
