SCHMIDT® Flow Sensor SS 20.500

The solution for flow measurement – especially for dusty air and gases. High precision and compact!

 

  • Dumb-bell head (independent of flow direction, easy to clean)
  • Flow and temperature signal
  • Probe length 100 … 1,000 mm (optional special length)
  • Remote sensor (optional)
  • Measuring ranges 0 … 1 m/s to 0 … 50 m/s
  • Coatings (optional; sensor head only)
  • Pressure resistant up to 10 bar
  • ATEX (optional):

- Gases, zone 2: II 3G Ex ec ic IIC T4 Gc

- Dust, zone 22: II 3D Ex tc ic IIIC T135°C Dc

 

To measure air and gas flows accurately and reproducibly, many parameters have to be correct. Therefore, the positioning of the sensor decisively determines the quality of the measurement results.

The gases to be measured also determine the choice of the right sensor. In safety-relevant areas such as the chemical industry the requirement for explosion protection has also to be considered which means that the selection of a suitable sensor is very limited.

 

  • Industrial processes
  • Cleanroom and Pharma
  • Ventilation and air conditioning

 

SCHMIDT Technology – Simply a question of better measurement
