Default post pictures of your flow indicator

Does anyone have any pictures of a flow indicator? I am looking for plans to make one.

Do you mean pictures of the flow sensor, or of the flow indication? In some cases they are two different things...

Here is the flow sensor (the lower unit; the upper one is a flow switch which I did not use):



Here built into the res. It can be hooked up to any RPM sensing fan header:



...and here is it's flow indication, "sensed" by Speedfan and displayed via Samurize on a 5" TFT screen in the PC bezel:

How do you like my flow indicator? It was based off your design.

Monster industrial units... are they accurate down to the lower rates that we use in our loops?

.5" & below MAG units in general read to down to .5gpm fine (nice thing about mag flowmeters=same accuarcy from min to max ranges with perhaps a small deviation only)

yes, there are 3 layers.

the 20mm layer was drilled with a 38mm OD saw (the fan is a 40mm one), then it was glued on the 3mm one. Is a glue based like chloroform, it melt both parts of acrylic and they glue themselves.

No chance of leaking

bye!

This is a typical $10 dollar part.

Here's what the Kartell Paddle Wheel Flow Indicator looks like next to a 120mm fan in the Corsair HydroCool 200.
