Flow Sensors

Flow sensors are essential measurement devices used to monitor and control airflow in compressed air systems. By accurately measuring air consumption, these sensors help optimize system performance, prevent energy waste, and ensure consistent air supply for various applications. They are widely used in industries such as manufacturing, automotive, and pharmaceuticals, where precise airflow measurement is crucial for maintaining efficiency, reducing costs, and ensuring compliance with operational standards.

How do flow sensors work?

Flow sensors operate by detecting the velocity and volume of compressed air passing through a pipeline. They typically use thermal mass flow, differential pressure, or vortex technology to provide accurate and real-time measurements. Thermal mass flow sensors measure heat dissipation to determine flow rate, making them ideal for applications that require high precision. Differential pressure sensors detect variations in pressure across a restriction to calculate flow, while vortex sensors rely on turbulence patterns to measure airflow. Many modern flow sensors feature digital displays and remote monitoring capabilities, allowing for seamless integration into industrial automation systems.
