Paddle Wheel Flow Sensor
The paddle wheel flow sensor is a flow meter used to measure the flow of liquids in pipes. It works based on the principle of rotating paddle wheels, whose speed is proportional to the speed of the fluid flowing through it. These sensors are widely used in various industries due to their simplicity, reliability and cost-effectiveness.
