Flow meters and flow switches are critical components of industrial application. Cheap flow meters and switches would not necessarily be high quality. They often cause issues such as leakage, corrosion, or functional breakdown. It would be wise of you to spend on heavy-duty flow meters and flow switches. They will cost a bit more but will save you a lot of money over a long term.
