Flow sensors are devices that measure the flow rate of liquids or gases in a system. They work by detecting the movement of the fluid and converting this information into an electrical signal. This data can be used for monitoring, controlling, and optimizing various processes in industries such as water treatment, oil and gas, and HVAC systems. There are different types of flow sensors, including mechanical, electromagnetic, and ultrasonic sensors, each suited for specific applications. These sensors help ensure efficient operation, prevent leaks, and maintain safety by providing real-time flow information to operators and automated systems.
