New in-line flow sensors

March 2005 Sensors & Transducers

Turck is offering new self-contained monitors that have several key features that will help it provide solutions for applications where others fail, offering many advantages over similar flow sensing devices. Suitable for very low flow rates, these sensors can monitor changes in flow as low as 5 ml/min. With its unique design, this sensor can be used for liquids and gases. This, combined with their fast response times, make them perfect for applications involving pulsing or periodic flow rates.

Since these sensors connect directly into the pipeline with no intrusive probe there is no need to worry about orientation or flow direction when mounting the sensor. This design feature also allows these monitors to maintain excellent accuracy specifications during changes in media temperature. These solid sate devices have no moving parts that will break off or freeze up over time, eliminating major repair costs to pumps and other expensive items. Both the D04 and the D10 are available with either a discrete transistor output or 4-20 mA analog signal output, both in DC only. Each can easily be set up for a variety of applications by using the adjustment potentiometer(s) on the front of the housing. All wetted parts are 316 stainless steel including the various tube fitting adapter accessories.
