Gems Sensors Economical Flow-Rate Sensors
TurboFlow® Economical Flow-Rate Sensors
Quick Specs...
- Low Cost Plus High Accuracy ±3% of Reading
- Measures Low Liquid Flow Rates of 0.5 to 30 L/Min (.1 to 8 GPM)
- Lightweight Plastic Design Enables Mounting in any Position
Overview / Design Principle:
Gems hall effect turbine flow rate sensor is ideal for OEM applications involving low flow liquid monitoring. The low cost coupled with 1/2% repeatability makes it an ideal candidate for replacing dispensing timer systems. Unlike timing systems, turbine technology is not influenced by changes in system pressure caused by aging filters. The sensor's standard power and output specifications make it easy to retrofit to existing controllers.
