Can someone help me understand this chart -
http://www.gemssensors.com/pdf/380PFlowChart.PDF for this flow sensor -

My WC will include:
Swiftech Storm CPU Block
Laing D5 pump
Thermachill PA 160
1/2 tubing.
If I've properly interpreted other guidance I've read on this forum, I should expect to see 5-6 lpm of flow with this configuration (without the flow sensor). What kind of hit can I expect to see if I put this flow sensor in the loop in series? For the 3/8" NPT port, the chart indicates .5 psid (.035 bar???) at approximately 6 lpm. How does that translate? Do I have the psid to bar correct?
Putting the flow sensor in parellel remains an option but complicates the loop. Moreover, I'm still considering purchasing the Swissflow800 (even though it will be stupidly overpriced after adding in the wire transfer fees) but with my TBalancer I like the idea of being able to control the pump along with all the other noise generation devices in the box. To do that effectively it seems that I need to have a fairly accurate read on flow.
The Swissflow pressure drop is approximately .25 bar at 6 lpm. That seems significantly worse than the flow switch but may still be immaterial.
Thoughts?
