Liquid flow sensor
A technical device designed to measure the volume or velocity of liquid moving through the supply system of agricultural machinery.
Также говорят: flow meter, fluid flow sensor, liquid flow rate sensor
Flow sensors are essential components in modern sprayers and fertigation systems used to ensure precise chemical application. By monitoring the actual flow rate in real time, the device enables accurate distribution of fertilizers or pesticides across the field.
Implementing these sensors helps in maintaining optimal application rates and identifying operational failures such as clogged nozzles or pipeline leaks. Common mistakes include failing to perform calibration before operation and mounting the sensor in areas with high flow turbulence, which significantly compromises the accuracy of the readings.
