ScioSense UFM-01

Using ultrasonic technology the UFM-01 module from ScioSense measures flow rates with no rotors or moving parts. This leads to significant improvements over mechanical-based flow sensors such as high lifetime, stable performance over a wide sensing range and detection of low flow rates.

The sensor module offers up to ±5% accuracy and covers a sensing range from 0 l/h to 2000 l/h. Flow rates are communicated through a 1-Wire^® or UART interface, including the measured water temperature.

The UFM-01 is suitable for food-grade material with its compact size of making it suitable for many applications.
