Subscribed! ❤
Im wonding what the curve looks like for each system with variable valve, that is not only on off but has a range of pressures and flow rates. And especially how to take dynamic pressure and adjust the calibration valur accordingly... Let me know if you have some insights 🙏 Thanks a lot and all the best!👍

Hello i really enjoy your videos.
Can i use this for meaauring flow of oil in a refinery ?
Or do you have better options that can work with am arduino

[@samuelg.5685]

I want something like that. We are into manufacturing but we need something to help us set the amount of water needed and it gives us exactly that e.g. if we set 1000ltrs, it releases that exactly and stops. Can we have that?

[@fireomen87]

would the flow measurements still be accurate if the flow rate were to change? I am planning on building something using these for a filtering system, however, the filtering system gets slower as the filter pads become more clogged up. But if it's been calibrated then it should still have an accurate reading right? It would just show a slower output? Thanks for the video! I appreciate you keeping in your own errors, we're all human and it's good to learn from others mistakes :) Keep up the good work!

[@MikaelAbehsera]

ideally this would give you flow rates as a reading, so yeah it should be accurate exactly as you said

[@waughjake]

When winding your thread seal tape, you should wind it in the direction the fitting is going on, aka clockwise around it. This will pull the end tight when you screw the fitting on, rather than push the end of the tape out.

[@MikaelAbehsera]

Good to know, thanks Jake!

[@gwm249]

Don't those fitting have seals in anyhow? Not sure but they look like they would

[@BarMagnet]

Would it not be better to include a counter like 74hc4020 to save on interrupts? Use an interrupt at a suitable count value. These hall effect devices are essentially liters per pulse, so the count yields cubic meters easily. Appropriate timers can be used to find flow rates.

[@MikaelAbehsera]

Yeah there’s definitely better ways to go about it, I would completely change the setup next time around

[@roiad876]

instead of replacing my water meter I want to add this to a nearby faucet to track when there's water coming from the city supply, can this be used for that? I'm worried it might track air pressure instead when there's no water flow.

[@MikaelAbehsera]

Do you think the air pressure is strong enough to turn it? Maybe you can install it somewhere else we’re going can guarantee water flow. If you can get around that then yea this would work but if it’s a city supply line it might be too powerful or fast of flow for this sensor, that would be my main thing to check

[@WhereLeo]

thank you for your videeo, does flow sensor can control the pressure of water flowing? IM looking for a valve that can control the pressure electronically.

[@MikaelAbehsera]

Glad it helped! thanks for the feedback

as for water control I would recommend this solenoid that can close and open a water source electronically, and maybe pair that with a pressure sensor if thats what your trying to read

[@bassamsibai7518]

Thank you. Could you please share the code?

[@jdw8320]

Is there a way to read alot of flowmeters? I want to monitor fertilizer flow on my planter it would take 54 sensors

[@MikaelAbehsera]

yes, but at that point I would say try and find a better way to mesure, like at the source maybe

[@duribv]

Hi, where is the code? Do you have git?

[@justintawil8986]

Can you share the updated code

[@mohamedimadh9886]

I really appreciate the video but did you compared milliliters vs grams at the end? 18:26

[@Nuros16]

yes, because 1milliliter is 1gram

[@MikaelAbehsera]

The density of the liquid matters for this but yes

[@timothymorolapeapereakanji2591]

Pls can the water flow sensor be used to detect water leakage

[@MikaelAbehsera]

If flow drops you can assume there’s a leak but it’s tricky and not super accurate, there’s probably different ways to detect that

[@ashutoshghosh3786]

can we control the rate of water flow using this sensor ?

[@MikaelAbehsera]

no just read it

[@tychojacobs5891]

would this code work on a esp32?

[@MikaelAbehsera]

it should, just make sure you select the right board in the editor before you upload and check where your proper pins are
