Water Flow Sensor

Water flow sensor built around a plastic-bodied valve housing an impeller and a magnetic pick-up

SKU 8300-WFSENSORNEAN 8219671102247Item type: Assembled

Description

Sensor for measuring water flow, consisting of a valve with a plastic body housing an impeller and a magnetic pick-up. The impeller is set in rotation by the water flowing through the sensor: the greater the water flow, the higher the number of rotations detected by the magnetic pick-up. The number of pulses on the output terminal is therefore directly proportional to the water flow.

Example of use with Arduino/Fishino
