Fluid flow sensor

Leave fluid flow sensors for grease and similar substances to us!

You can mainly check the application of grease, detect flow, and confirm air intrusion! It features a simple structure that makes it easy to handle while performing flow confirmation. It is used by directly installing it in the middle of piping or on bearings. The compatible fluids are "water," "oil," and "grease."
