Flow Meter | LCD Display with Solenoid Control | G1/2 Thread

This digital water flow meter kit lets you both watch and manage water use. The system includes a G1/2" flow sensor, a solenoid valve, and a controller with a large LCD screen. The screen shows flow rate, total volume, and temperature. Features and Benefits - Clear LCD Display - The lit screen gives you an instant, easy-to-read view of the current flow rate, total volume used, and water temperature. - Measured Dispensing - You can set a specific volume. The digital water flow control will then use the solenoid valve to turn the water off automatically. - Total Usage Tracking - It works as a water usage meter, keeping a running total. This helps you track how much water you use and can even help find slow leaks. - Complete System - The kit comes with everything you need: the display, the G1/2" brass flow sensor, a temperature probe, and the solenoid valve. Applications - Garden and Irrigation: Attach it as a water flow meter for a garden hose. It delivers an exact amount of water to different areas without guessing. - Batching and Filling: This is good for workshops, home brewing, or labs. You can add an exact amount of liquid to a mix or fill a container. - Home Water Management: Put it on a utility line to track overall water use or to automate filling a small pool, tank, or pond. Key Functions A flow meter measures the rate of fluid movement through a pipe. This product, a Flowm System, incorporates an LCD Display for clear readings and Solenoid Control for precise operation. Its G1/2" joint pipe bore size indicates suitability for specific plumbing or industrial applications. Flow meters are essential for monitoring and controlling liquid or gas flow in various systems, ensuring efficiency and preventing waste. The integrated solenoid valve allows for automated flow regulation based on the displayed measurements. Common Types of Flow Meters There are various types of flow meters, each suited to different applications. This particular product is described as a "Flowm System" and includes a Flow Sensor, Solenoid Valve, and LCD Display. While the specific sensing technology is not detailed, flow meters broadly include devices that measure volumetric flow, mass flow, or velocity. Examples include positive displacement meters, turbine meters, and electromagnetic flow meters. The choice depends on the fluid properties, required accuracy, and operating conditions. Key Types & How They Work Flow meters operate on diverse principles to determine fluid movement. For example, some meters measure the velocity of the fluid and, knowing the pipe's cross-sectional area, calculate the volumetric flow. Others might measure the mass of the fluid directly. This product, a Flow Meter with Solenoid Control, features a G1/2" joint pipe bore size and an LCD Display. The integrated Solenoid Valve suggests it can not only measure but also actively manage the flow, making it a versatile component in a control system. Velocity-Based Meters Velocity-based meters determine flow by measuring the speed of the fluid as it passes through the pipe. This measurement, combined with the known internal diameter of the pipe, allows for the calculation of the volumetric flow rate. While the specific sensing mechanism for this Flow Meter is not stated, its G1/2" joint pipe bore size is a critical factor for accurate velocity-based measurements. The LCD Display provides real-time velocity or flow rate readings, aiding in precise monitoring. Differential Pressure (DP) Meters Differential pressure flow meters operate by introducing a constriction into the flow path, which creates a pressure drop across the constriction. The magnitude of this pressure difference is directly related to the flow rate. Common examples include orifice plates, Venturi tubes, and nozzles. While the specifications for this Flow Meter do not explicitly state it is a DP meter, understanding this principle is useful when considering different flow measurement technologies. This Flowm System includes a Flow Sensor and LCD Display for presenting measurement data.
