How does a paddle flow switch work?

Written by

Flow switches are used in a variety of ways; to monitor flow rates, to trigger a warning if the flow rate falls outside of the pre-set parameters, or to protect a pump. Paddle flow switches are generally used for the detection of flow and the measurement of fan or pump speeds. But how does a paddle flow switch work? We take a look here in our latest article and look at where they can be found.

What are the types of pressure sensor?

Written by

Pressure sensors are used in a vast array of applications, from medical environments to safety-critical pressure measurement in hydraulic brake systems. In industrial applications where processing takes place, it is often important to measure pressure accurately to control the quality of the final product, and sometimes to control the process itself. The market has various types of pressure sensors available, not least because they are used in so many different ways, however, within this article, we will take a look at some of the variables that are accounted for by different types of pressure sensors and the factors to consider when selecting one.

How is flow measured?

Written by

Flow rate measurement is employed widely across many industries, and is used to measure the volume of a liquid or gas passing through a specific cross-sectional area per unit of time. Flow rate measurement helps us to control and monitor the rate of liquid flow within applications and ensure that fluid control processes are running safely and cost-effectively. We will take a look at how flow is measured, some of the flow control options available and what it is important to consider when thinking about flow rate measurement.
