Compact Brass Water Flow Sensor for DIY Electronics

Compact Brass Water Flow Sensor for DIY Electronics The Brass Water Flow Sensor is a reliable and compact device designed to measure water flow with precision. Composed of a durable brass valve body, a high-quality water flow rotor assembly, and a Hall sensor, this sensor ensures seamless integration into various applications, from DIY projects to commercial systems. When water flows through the rotor assembly, the magnetic rotor spins at a speed proportional to the flow rate. The Hall sensor converts this motion into pulse signals, providing accurate data for flow regulation. Its robust design and versatile functionality make it an essential component for engineers, students, and hobbyists. Key Features: Compact and Lightweight: Easy to install in tight spaces without compromising functionality. Stainless Steel Impeller: Inlaid with wear-resistant stainless steel beads for long-lasting performance. Leak-Proof Design: Dual-force sealing ring structure ensures zero leakage. High-Quality Hall Sensor: Imported and protected with potting glue to prevent water ingress and aging. Wide Application Range: Suitable for water heaters, drinking fountains, water vending machines, and more. Specifications of Brass Water Flow Sensor Interface Sizes: G1/2, G3/4, G1 Working Voltage: DC 5-18V Water Pressure Resistance: ≤1.75MPa Output Pulse High Level: >DC 4.7V (at DC 5V input) Output Pulse Duty Cycle: 50% ±10% Insulation Resistance: >100MΩ Tightness: No leakage under 1.7MPa water pressure for 1 minute Flow Pulse Characteristics: 1/2-inch: 660 pulses per liter (11 * Q, where Q = L/min) 3/4-inch: 396 pulses per liter (6.6 * Q, where Q = L/min) 1-inch: 476 pulses per liter (8 * Q – 4, where Q = L/min) Wiring Instructions: Red (IN): Connect to positive pole Yellow (OUT): Signal output Black (GND): Connect to negative pole Usage Instructions: Install vertically with an inclination not exceeding 5 degrees. Avoid exposing the sensor to severe impacts or chemical corrosion. Ensure the medium temperature does not exceed 120°C. Benefits for DIY Projects: Precision Monitoring: Provides accurate pulse signals for flow regulation, perfect for home automation and Arduino-based systems. Durability: High-quality materials ensure long-term use in demanding environments. Versatility: Integrates seamlessly into various DIY applications like water flow measurement and control systems.   Related
