Flow sensors and flowmeters
Flow switches confirm fluid circulation, while flowmeters measure volumetric or mass flow depending on the technology. They are used for cooling water, compressed air, dosing, utilities and industrial processes. Electromagnetic, ultrasonic, thermal, vortex or Coriolis measurement is selected according to the fluid and application. Relevant factors include pipe diameter, flow range, pressure, temperature, conductivity and solids content. Installation requirements, pressure loss, accuracy and the output signal to the automation system must also be checked.
