SCHMIDT® Flow Sensor SS 20.250

The smallest all-rounder – universal and powerful

  • Patented sensor head (dumb-bell head):

- Largely independent from flow direction

- Easy to clean (free of undercuts)

- Dirt-resistant

  • Flow and medium temperature signal
  • Probe length 300 … 500 mm
  • Measuring ranges 0 … 1 m/s to 0 … 20 m/s, special measuring range
  • Optional coated (not for Hygienic Design version)
  • Hygienic Design version optional

In many applications, the direct measurement of flow velocity or volume flow in air and gases is the ideal solution.

Due to high demands of modern control technology, the flow sensor has to detect precisely and fast an extremely wide measuring range from "almost zero" up to the maximum value.

For clean room applications also available as SS 20.250 Hygienic Design (order option):

  • Smooth surface (free of undercuts) prevents product or dirt residues
  • Corrosion resistant (stainless steel V4A)
  • Easy to clean
  • Resistant to all commercially available cleaning agents
  • Easy to remove for calibration due to plug-in connection

- Sensor with 1.5 m Hygienic Design cable and plug

- Additional 10 m Hygienic Design cable with socket included

  • Ventilation and air conditioning
  • Clean room and pharma
  • Monitoring of FFUs
  • Monitoring of laminar flow in cleanrooms

SCHMIDT Technology – simply a question of better measurement
