SCHMIDT® Flow Sensors for Cleanroom
For measurements in cleanrooms the thermic SCHMIDT® Flow Sensors provide many benefits:
- Direct detection of flow velocity from 0.05 m/s
- Cleanroom suitable – no moving parts, no grit (IP65 – IP67 degree of protection)
- „Hygienic Design“ – easy cleanable dumb-bell head, disinfectable, hydrogen-peroxide resistant, suitable for VHP (Vaporized Hydrogen Peroxide) -method
- In compliance with requirements of ISO 14644 regarding measuring range
- „Bi-directional sensor“ enables the identification of over flow direction even during decrease of pressure
- ISO-calibration protocol available – enables requirements of pharmaceutical industry
- Easy to integrate in monitoring systems through variable data interfaces
- Corrosion protection, resistant against aggressive process media (acid, brine, solvent)
Which sensor is suitable for which application?
There are special SCHMIDT® Flow Sensors for use in cleanroom and hygienic environments available:

Application examples:
Cleanroom supervision – monitoring
- Detection of flow velocity, supervision of filter leakage, control of flow velocity
- Detection of turbulence degree for estimation of laminarity of cleanroom flow
- Supervision of flow direction (in case of decrease of pressure or reduction of flow velocity beyond production times
Energy saving and efficiency through
Higher measurement accuracy for efficient reduction of the flow velocity beyond production times (higher accuracy compared to stationed pressure measurement)
Plant monitoring
- Supervision of plant integrated filter units
- Control of exhaustion processes with corrosive media
- Determination of turbulence degrees within one plant
Pharmaceutical Industry
- Integration in cleanroom-monitoring (Annex1 GMP-guidelines)
- Charge release in case of decrease of pressure through documentation of flow direction
Semi-conductor Industry
- Flow monitoring if corrosive process media is present
- Filter monitoring in clean machines
