The SCHMIDT® Flow Sensor SS 23.700 Ex Biogas is the perfect solution for the extremely demanding measurement in biogas applications.
The order option "PWIS-conform" provides the required safety for applications with corresponding requirements.
The double-pin sensor head has been designed especially to meet the needs of so-called „heavy-duty applications“. Thanks to the sensor elements being completely encapsulated in stainless steel these are ideally suited for extremely demanding applications. The sensor is also resistant against aggressive media.
The SS 23.700 Ex Biogas records flow velocity as well as media temperatures from -20 °C up to +120 °C. It can be used in small tubes from DN40 upwards and can involve a sensor length of up to 600 mm to measure the volumetric flow rate in large channels and ducts. The sensor can be used in overpressure up to 16 bar.
This sensor is very easy to install: screw in the sensor using the compression fitting included, align the sensor in the gas flow and centrally in the pipe, connect it electrically – and job done!
The SS 23.700 Ex Biogas operates without any moving parts and due to the measuring principle drifting or ageing do not play a role. This reduces the maintenance required for the sensor to an absolute minimum. Should cleaning nevertheless be necessary, it can be carried out very easily and in a variety of ways - simply the spirit of „heavy-duty“.
The SCHMIDT® SS 23.700 Biogas especially adjustet for the use in biogas / sewage treatment plants.
