Not the same, but the two are related, the air volume is equivalent to the product of the wind speed and the cross section of the through-flow port, so the air volume sensor should be the converted wind speed sensor.
The sensor (English name: transducer/sensor) is a detection device that can sense the measured information and can transform the sensed information into an electrical signal or other required form of information output to respond to the information. Requirements for transmission, processing, storage, display, recording, and control.
The characteristics of the sensor include: miniaturization, digitization, intelligence, multi-function, systematization, and networking. It is the first stage in achieving automatic detection and automatic control. The existence and development of the sensor allow the object to have senses such as touch, taste and the smell, and let the object slowly become alive. Generally, it is split into ten categories, such as thermal element, photosensitive element, gas sensor, force sensor, magnetosensitive sensor, humidity sensor, sound sensor, radiation sensor, color sensor and taste sensor, according to its basic sensing function.
