HS Code 9026 — Flow and Pressure Sensors
These instruments monitor the movement, level, or pressure of fluids and gases. They are essential for industrial piping, tanks, and pneumatic systems to ensure safe and efficient operation.
What's included
- Differential pressure gauges
- Ultrasonic flow meters
- Float-type level indicators
- Electronic pressure transmitters
- Heat meters
What's excluded
- Supply meters for billing → use
9028(Meters calibrated for the sale/billing of gas or water are under 9028.) - Thermostats → use
903210(Automatic pressure controllers (pressostats) belong in 9032.)
Common examples
- Industrial oil flow meter
- Digital pressure gauge for gas lines
- Magnetic flow meter for wastewater
- Fuel level sensor for storage tanks
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between a pressure gauge in 9026 and a pressure switch in 9032?
A gauge (9026) simply reads and displays the pressure. A switch (9032) triggers an action based on the pressure reaching a certain point.
