SCHMIDT® Flow Sensor SS 20.400

Thermal flow sensor for uni- or bi-directional measurement of the flow rate of air and gases with simultaneous detection of flow direction.

 

  • Thermopile head (very fast response time)
  • Flow and switching signal
  • Probe length 130 … 300 mm
  • Measuring ranges 0 … 1 m/s to 0 … 20 m/s
  • Bi-directional measurement (detection of flow direction, optional)
  • Vertical adjustment (for laminar flow applications, optional)
  • Sensor programing (optional)
  • Cleanroom sensor
  • Extremely compact, because electronics are integrated into the sensor tube.
  • Sensor element in the chamber head and protected against mechanical stress.
  • Linear analog output for measured value output, two switching outputs to output the flow direction and threshold.

 

  • Laminar flow monitoring in flow boxes
  • Monitoring of cleanroom overflow
  • Cooling air monitoring
  • Flow measurement in test benches

 

SCHMIDT® Technology - simply a question of better measurement
