Questions & Answers
It's called "garden hose thread" (GHT), and it's a 3/4" diameter straight (non-stretch) thread. thread (tapered) with a pitch of 11 5 TPI (outer diameter of male part is 1 1/16 inch (26. 99 mm)).
Male pipe thread is 1/2 inch, and female pipe thread is 3/4 inch.
The K value of a 3/4 flow sensor is around 5.
You'll need a microcontroller that counts pulses, converts them to liters or gallons, and displays the results to the user in some way. Although the ESP32 is inexpensive and performs admirably in this application, it is a fairly advanced coding project.
Selected User Reviews For DIGITEN G3/4" Water Flow Hall Sensor Switch Flow Meter Flowmeter Counter 1-60L/min
It's fantastic - It's being used in conjunction with an Arduino to track water flow. It connects to the circuit without a hitch - It simply goes about its business. br>br>NOTE: THIS PAGE HAS BEEN UPDATED. I'm afraid I can't recommend this device any longer. In less than 6 months, the unit's signal began to "chatter" (i. e. tens of thousands of pulses per second - There was no water flowing, and the ground was dry). It was "sitting" in the hall, I assumed. point of departure – I changed my code as well. It started happening less than two weeks later. a total of four times per day - It's now to the point where it's "not working normally" at all - When it does something, it says - It only makes noises. br>br>Will switch to another brand - This was disappointing because the unit appeared to be well-made. br>I'm thinking about disassembling it to see if there's anything wrong with it. It is possible to perform diagnostics.
People don't realize that 3/4 npt isn't the same as a garden hose; the "missing wiring diagram" is on the side of the part, and if the sticker came off, it's literally in the picture on this Amazon listing; I'll update on the durability of this once I've used it for a few hours.
This flow sensor has really impressed me. I bought two of them to put in my African Cichlid aquarium. I have two canister filters: one for the kitchen and the other for the bathroom. I didn't realize my flow had been significantly reduced until I went on vacation over the Fourth of July weekend. When I returned, I discovered a number of dead fish. (br>br>I'm using a Particle Photon with the Blynk app to remotely monitor the flow and send me an alert if it falls below a certain threshold. ) br>br>On McMaster, part 5372K218, I discovered barbed tube (5/8") fittings. br>br>The sensors use a three-pin JST connector (which can be found on Amazon).
Flow meter is fantastic! Three of them were used to keep track of the different flows into my aquarium. It has no effect on the filter's flow. br>br>This has a standard 3/4" MIP thread, despite what other reviews claim. Garden hoses and plumbing parts are made with the same thread. It's not difficult to find pvc and hose barb adapters that will work with it.
When the water supply runs out, I used it with an Arduino to cut the power to my water pump. The output cable of the sensor sent a mixed voltage signal.
What are the connections between the wires? There are no guidelines to follow.
According to their sales staff, this does not have 3/4" fOD itings. It is equipped with 1" fittings. The ID is 3/4".
Not 3/4". This item did not live up to its expectations. There's some kind of metric thread here. NOT 11. 5 TPI. A typical US garden hose will not fit. br>NOT HALF AN INCHES EITHER. I'm going to return it and get my money back.
