The disposable Liquid Flow sensor utilizes thermopile sensing technology to measure the flow rate for the liquid. The Liquid Flow Evaluation Module kit includes the reusable base station, disposable liquid flow sensors, 3/16’ ID soft tubing, PC application, and cable connector.
The sensing system is fully calibrated, and temperature is compensated over the specified flow range. The sensor has a linear flow output over the temperature range of 10C to 40C (50F to 104F) and is calibrated with distilled water as standard, with the option for custom fluid calibrations to fit your specific application requirements.
The evaluation module is paired with a powerful software application that enables users to adjust the sampling rate based on the application’s flow characteristics and provides an option to view a rolling average of flow data to minimize noise or fluctuations in the data output.
The sensor is designed with a robust, high-performance, medical edge connector, providing a secure and reliable electrical connection. Additional sensor cartridges can be purchased separately.

The OLS2 series is a liquid-level sensor for single-point liquid-level detection. The sensor has an infrared emitter and detector aligned within an accurately shaped cone to give good optical coupling when the sensor is in the air. This coupling is greatly reduced when the sensor is immersed in liquid, as the infrared light escapes through the liquid rather than being reflected back to the detector.
The sensor has a transistor output, so can be configured by the user for particular applications. Output is via TTL-compatible push-pull output.

The OPB350 series liquid sensor is designed to work with 1/16” [1.6mm] 1/8” [3.2mm], 3/16” [4.8 mm], and 1/4” [6.3 mm] outside diameter clear tubes. When output reference circuitry is added, multiple output states such as “fluid present,” “no fluid present,” and “no tube present” can be recognized.
Clear liquid present causes the phototransistor to sink the maximum current, while dark liquid present causes it to sink the minimum current. As bubbles pass through the tube, the signal will vary between the “liquid present” and “no liquid” states. If no tube is present, the phototransistor sinks current between the dark fluid and clear fluid states. The customer will have to identify the typical current values for each situation. The ratio between the different states allows acknowledgment of different conditions.
Features
- Can identify if the liquid is present in clear tubes that have an outside diameter of 1/16” [1.6mm], 1/8″ [3.2mm], 3/16″ [4.8 mm], or 1/4″ [6.3 mm]
- Opaque plastic housing enhances ambient light rejection
- Printed circuit board mounting or 24” (610 mm) 26 AWG wires
Applications
- Noncontact fluid sensing
- IV fluid
- Oils and other petroleum products
- Colored fluids
- Toner fluids
- Water
