Achieving High Performance with Miniature Planar
Flow Sensors
Using the volumetric rate of flow and the quantity of the fluid flowing through a pipe are
called the liquid flow meter. The flow rate is directly proportional to the velocity of the
flowing liquid and the pressure created in the conduit. Hence the average rate of flow is
determined. Various factors like viscosity and the velocity of the fluid the diameter of the
pipe and the friction of the liquid and the inner wall of the pipe affect the flow rate.
These liquid flow sensors are further simplified for its application in various fields.
High-performance Small Sized Flow Sensor
With a dimension of 10X10mm
2
the liquid flow sensor produces an extraordinary
performance in measuring the flow rate in a planar micro fluidic medium. The
miniature planar flow sensors are very efficient and cost effective in high-volume
applications consuming minimum space. It has a compact design with rear mounted
fluidic ports which enable it to work efficiently in high volume fluids. The conjoined
technique of the digital micro sensor chip and the micro fluidic chip operates the flow
sensors. It is a most cost-effective method for measuring the flow rate.

Features Applications
Following are the features of this flow sensor
• Tremendously small stature
• Response time is less than 30ms
• Complete measurement is completed in the linear and digital output
• Measures the maximum flow rate accurately
• High chemical resistance and compatible glass being the only wetted material
with most of the fluid medium
• Isolated from the media during calibration
Following are the fields of application
• Surgical equipment
• Biomedical instrument
Due to its miniature thermal mass the result is achieved in a very short time frame. This
characteristic enables the miniature planar flow sensors to monitor the rapidly
changing flow rate. In a fluidic medium this sensor can be placed anywhere in the pipe to
get the flow rate. The faults such as clogging leaks air bubbles etc. can also be analyzed
very easily with this small stature flow sensor.
