Plug-and-play solution for easy flow monitoring
April 2016
Flow Measurement & Control
The compact plug-and-play EGE SNS 450 thermodynamic flow sensor provides ease of flow monitoring with low maintenance benefits. According to Gerry Bryant, managing director of Countapulse Controls, the innovative screw-in adaptor allows for universal use in a variety of applications.
The adaptor is screwed into a T-piece or a welding sleeve and the probe is then secured in this adaptor using a union nut. Users are reassured of the integrity of the connection, which is sealed up to 100 bar.
The EGE sensor, which includes an LED display for ease of use, can function in temperatures from between -20 to 80°C and is suitable for controlling the flow of fluids such as water, glycol mixtures and chemicals. Ingress protected to IP67 standards the design of the sensor, which features no moving parts, is focused on elimination of failure that would typically be caused by oxidised bearings, torn impellers or deflector deformation.
With a robust construction the EGE flow sensor is resistant to corrosion and is ideal for use in both liquids and air, as well as in hazardous environments. “This is a welcome addition to the Countapulse Controls product line-up and complements the existing range of sensing solutions; all geared around reliability and longevity combined with uncompromising accuracy,” says Bryant.
