Can anyone suggest a low cost flow sensor that can measure velocity of water? TQ.. :wink:
 

Flow Rate Sensor

i'm not sure but you could make a crude one yourself
you could make blades to rotate due to the flow and put some damping
then, no of revolutions in unit time will be proportional to the speed
 

Re: Flow Rate Sensor

Here is a link to speed/velocity sensor based on a rotor and magnets:
**broken link removed**
Maybe you can try to adopt this idea in your project.
Good luck and regards,
