Flow sensor in robust stainless steel housing
September 2007
Sensors & Transducers
The all-stainless steel SI5000 is one in a line of solid-state flow sensors from IFM Electronic designed for reliable monitoring of gaseous and liquid media. The SI5000 range provides increased repeatability across the measuring range and a simplified setting mode for quick set-up.
The SI5000 range uses IFM's calorimetric measuring principle, allowing the sensor to operate with no wear at all while providing high sensitivity and repeatability. The measuring range covers 3-300 cm/s for liquids and 200-3000 cm/s for gases. Temperatures can vary between -25 and 80°C.
Other popular features of the earlier units have been retained: a pushbutton setting of switch points and multicolour LEDs on the unit to indicate flow and switch points. Electronic locking of the settings and resetting the parameters to the factory setting provide additional safety.
By using process adapters the sensors can be integrated in almost any pipe fitting. The unit is unaffected by the orientation of the sensing face with respect to the direction of flow, providing increased flexibility of installation.
The SI5000 range has a 30 bar pressure resistance, IP 67 protection and is vibration and shock resistant.
