What is a Flow sensor?

A flow sensor is a detector that measures the flow rate of any fluid, from gas to liquid. There are various flow rate sensors, such as an analog type flow sensor for monitoring the fluid flowing through the fluid circuit for abnormalities, and a digital type that connects to a feedback control mechanism to adjust the gas supply amount to a certain amount. Exists.

Application of Flow sensor

Although it is a flow rate sensor built into the fluid circuit, it is also used in familiar places such as a flow rate sensor for monitoring and investigating the flow rate of water flowing in a pipe and a flow rate sensor for measuring and adjusting the gas flow. There are also flow rate sensors that support not only water and air but also special gases such as etching gas used at semiconductor manufacturing sites. On the other hand, if you do not select an appropriate flow sensor, not only will you not be able to measure the correct flow rate, but underestimation of the flow rate will lead to rupture of the flow path, so you will almost certainly use one in situations where fluid control is required. It has been.
