Flow sensors are devices which are used to measure a flow rate of Fluid. These sensors are generally part of a flow meter that would help to measure the flow rate.
Nowadays many different types of flow sensors are available which are used for different purpose.
Flow measurement is the diverse area and it is necessary for different engineering operations. There are different types of flow sensor which are designed to measure mass flow and pressure sensing in different types of applications such as gas meter, chemicals, process auto-control, medical, HVAC, food, and beverages.
Although there are much application of the Flow Sensor, here we assorted 4 major uses of different types of Flow Sensor-
- Flow Sensor- Oval Gear Flow Meter.
It is a positive displacement flow meter with two oval shape gear, it measures flow when it passes through a chamber and magnetic pick-up sensor use for measuring rotation quantity of gear.
Applications-
- Oil counter
- Epoxies
- Lubricating oil
- Truck tank flow meter
- Mechanical display
- Flow Sensor- Turbine Flow Sensor.
It is a flow meter which uses the mechanical energy to rotate the rotor in the direction of the flow and it measures the velocity of the liquid. Rotor shaft moves fast proportionally with the increasing water speed. The sensing system is available to measure the flow in both forward and backward direction.
Applications-
- Oil and gas
- Water and wastewater
- Chemical
- Food and beverages
- Aerospace
- Pharmaceutical
- Flow Sensor- RTD Sensor.
Here, RTD stands for Resistance Temperature Detector sensor and it is used to measure temperature. RTD consist of the wire made from pure metal like Platinum, copper or nickel.
Applications-
- Air conditioners and refrigerators
- Textile products
- Micro-electronic
- Air, gas, and liquid temperature
- Exhausted gas temperature
- Plastic processing
- Flow Sensor- Water Flow Sensor.
It is used to measure the water flow in pulse rate output and it usually consists of injection molding machine and other molds and tools.
Applications-
- Water management
- Power and energy
- Mining
- Agriculture
- Food and beverages
