Flow switch for water based media in a rugged stainless steel housing (full encapsulation) with simultaneous monitoring of flow and temperature
Flow Captor 4220.1xF/.1xTM xx °C
The flow-captor 4220.1xF/.1xT M xx °C is ideally suited for use in automation processes and other industrial applications where both the flow and the temperature of the medium need to be monitored. The sensor operates according to the calorimetric measuring principle and without mechanically moved parts. The sensor detects the flow velocity and the medium temperature and converts both into electrical signals.
Key benefits for you:
Precise switching sensor
Robust stainless steel construction (M)
Separate adjustment of flow range and flow switching point
The Flow Captor model 4220.1xF/.1xTM xx °C is a precise, compact flow switch featuring an analog display, all enclosed within a robust stainless steel casing.
These devices operate based on the fundamental principles of calorimetry, which is elaborated further down.
The Flow Captor provides the capability to establish precise flow set-points and simultaneously displays the flow rate, even under conditions of minimal flow.
Sensor heads and housing
The sensor heads are crafted from a single piece of electro-polished stainless steel, ensuring that no sensor elements are exposed to the medium. They can be easily installed using either a T-piece or a welded fitting. For applications involving aggressive media, special sensor head materials such as Titanium or Hastelloy are available upon request.
G 1/2" BSP thread in various sensor head lengths is available, and alternatively, a 1/2" -14 NPT thread option.
The housing is constructed from robust stainless steel 303, while the internal electronics are fully protected with epoxy resin encapsulation.
