If F is in Hz and Q is in L/min, the result should be 288 pulses per liter.
The male thread has a diameter of 31 millimeters on the outside. 8mm.
I purchased a four-conductor phone cable on Amazon. Three of the four wires are all that's required. The wire appears to be capable of performing the task. This was a $5 Radio Shack 50-foot 4-wire phone cable.

It performs admirably in my application. br>I used a Raspberry Pi to control a solar water heater for my pool. I'm using it to provide relative flow rates while making minor adjustments to the actuator/valve, so I can provide a variable flow that's always a constant temperature higher than the temperature in my pool. br>I'm not sure how accurate it is, but I do know that the 450 pulses/liter stated in the advertisement for the 1" is incorrect. If F=4. If the pulses per liter are 8 * L/M, then the pulses per liter should be 4. The value I'm using is 8*60 or 288; however, I still believe it's too high. For me to calibrate it, I'll have to write some code. br>I've had it in my system for about a month and haven't had any issues. br>Update 6/4/2018. br>I now have a maximum flow rate of 45 liters/min after adding two more solar panels. It's still working fine, but at higher flow rates, it develops a louder hum. Furthermore, given the pump size that I am using to pump the water up around 25 feet to the solar panel, I believe it has become a bottleneck at this increased flow rate.
Excellent value for money, but there are some drawbacks. It stifles the flow, as other reviewers have stated. If a water line larger than 1/2 inch is required, I wouldn't recommend using it. The calibration seems to be within 5% of 0. The flow rate varies between 5 and 4 gallons per minute. Below 0. The calibration of 5 gpm is quickly depleted. At 0, I demonstrated an 18% error. 38 gpm. Above 4, I didn't put it to the test. I was only able to get 28 gpm out of my 1/2" hose.
It worked perfectly for 11 people. A RPI was used for 5 months. Unfortunately, at the eleventh hour, it failed. With very little use, it lasted for 5 months. It rattles around when the flow begins until the paddle wheel becomes stuck. I require extremely low flow rates, so it still works for me, but I would not purchase it again. br>br>At some point, I'll need to drain the system to get rid of this part.
This sensor was purchased as an Arduino input to control my home's water pump, and it came at a reasonable price. So far, everything has gone well.
centered and pointing in the same direction as the water flow! br>br>The G1 is a one-of-a-kind hybrid of the G1 and the G2. 1/2 & The G2" DIGITEN flow sensor rotates perpendicular to the water flow, with the shaft parallel to the water flow, providing the least amount of resistance to the water flow.
The design of this obstructs the flow of water far too much, resulting in excessive back pressure. Yes, the number of liters per minute is stated in the description, but the design does not impress me. If you're installing a sprinkler system, skip this one and go with the 1-inch version instead. in place of 1/2".
The 3/4" and 1" models were purchased by me. I was considering using the 1" to force more water through the system. However, when viewed from the end, it chokes down to 3/4" in diameter, indicating that both are the same internal size.
Keep in mind that the internal bore is smaller than you might expect, so order the next larger size to avoid obstruction.
