SCHMIDT® Flow Sensor SS 20.515 LED

Thermal flow sensor with integrated electronics for measuring flow velocity of air, especially designed for monitoring laminar flow of air in cleanroom facilities.

Aerodynamically shaped dumbbell head with optimal flow properties, largely independent of direction
Cleanroom compatible design in accordance with GMP standard to prevent surface contamination
Operating status indication and serial number visible, even when sensor is installed
Flow and temperature signal
Probe length 300 … 1,000 mm (optional special length)
Probe length angled version: 150 / 270 mm x 300 mm
Measuring ranges 0 … 1 / 2.5 / 10 m/s
Vertical adjustment (for laminar flow applications, optional)
Coating (optional; sensor head only)
Cleanroom sensor

New: Now also in short design: 150 mm x 300 mm (angled)

Option: Monitoring of admissible speed interval (prescribed by official standards) of 0.45 m/s ± 20 % with optical signaling at the sensor (LF status indicator)

Laminar flow monitoring in cleanrooms
Process control in pharmaceutical, semiconductor technology and food industry
Use in isolators, flow boxes and sterile filling machines

SCHMIDT Technology – Simply a question of better measurement
