Miniature Liquid Flow Sensor for Mili & High Micro Flows

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the need for a miniature liquid flow sensor capable of accurately measuring liquid flows in the milli and high micro ranges. The recommended sensor is the Sensirion SLG-1430, which has a maximum flow rate of 40 µl/min. The user, Miles, expressed difficulty finding suitable sensors for low flow capacities, highlighting a gap in available options for precise measurements in these ranges. The provided data sheet offers further specifications for potential users.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of liquid flow measurement principles
  • Familiarity with miniature sensor technologies
  • Knowledge of flow rate units (µl/min)
  • Ability to interpret technical data sheets
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the specifications and applications of the Sensirion SLG-1430 liquid flow sensor
  • Explore other miniature flow sensors suitable for low flow rates
  • Learn about calibration techniques for liquid flow sensors
  • Investigate integration methods for flow sensors in microfluidic systems
USEFUL FOR

This discussion is beneficial for engineers, researchers, and developers working with microfluidics, as well as anyone involved in designing systems that require precise liquid flow measurements.

Hello Gentlemen,

I'm in need of a miniature liquid flow sensor capable of measuring liquid flows in the mili and possibly high micro ranges that is quite accurate. I seem not to find much on the internet as most of the sensors are for greater flow capacities.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Regards Miles.

Hello

This one has a maximum flow rate of 40 µl/min: http://www.sensirion.ch/en/02_liquid_flow_sensors/03_liquid_flow_meter/01_slg-1430.htm"
Here's the data sheet: "www.sensirion.com/images/getFile?id=35"[/URL]
