Flow Sensors, often referred to as flow meters, are devices meticulously designed to measure the quantity of liquid, gas or vapor that passes through them. These sensors play a critical role in a vast array of industrial and domestic applications, as they help regulate and monitor the flow rate of various fluids. The main function of flow sensors is to send signals to other devices, such as pumps, in response to the fluid's flow rate. This feedback mechanism can adjust the speed of the pump, ensuring the rate of flow remains consistent.
Flow Sensors come with specific instructions tailored for a wide range of applications, enhancing their usability and functionality. These can be seen in irrigation systems, HVAC, oil and gas industries, petrochemical plants, and many more. They are cherished for their accuracy, reliability, high sensitivity to flow changes, and their ability to withstand harsh environmental conditions. Some of the prominent manufacturers of Flow Sensors include Honeywell, Siemens, Endress+Hauser and Emerson Electric Co.
