    There is a graph on the second page that shows pressure drop vs. flow and it seems to indicate that the device is capable of handling upwards of 14 lpm.

    I would think that .5 lpm may be the minimum flow that it can accurately detect.

    I've never used one of these before but that seems reasonable to me.

    good luck

    Actually after taking a second look at the sheet and the title of "Flow Switch" it seems to me that it is only going to give you an indication that there is flow. Not the magnitude of that flow. you will likely only get a 1 or a 0 for Flow / No Flow indication. And it will only indicate flow if it is over .5 LPM.

    but I could be wrong

    Were you wanting something to indicate quantity of flow??
    If so, you may need to look elsewhere.
