IFM IO Link flow sensors and flow meters from the United States

IFM IO Link flow sensors and flow meters from the United States
The IFM SA4100 from the United States is a high-precision flow sensor that integrates IO Link communication function, and also has dual core functions of flow meter and flow switch. With the principle of calorimetric measurement, it is suitable for industrial flow monitoring needs in multiple media and scenarios, and is widely used in industrial automation, hydraulic and pneumatic, fluid processing and other fields. With high stability and adaptability, it has become the preferred equipment for industrial flow monitoring, helping enterprises achieve precise flow control and efficient operation and maintenance.
Core advantages and product features
1、 Multi media adaptation, wide scene coverage
Supporting multiple media such as water, ethylene glycol solution, air, and oil, it can adapt to low viscosity (≤ 40 mm ²/s, 40 ℃) and high viscosity (>40 mm ²/s, 40 ℃) oil liquids, meeting the fluid monitoring needs of different industrial scenarios; The liquid contact part is made of 316L stainless steel (1.4404) material, which is corrosion-resistant and wear-resistant, suitable for harsh industrial environments, and can be widely used for flow monitoring and control in industries such as chemical, water treatment, food and beverage, and machinery manufacturing.
2、 High precision measurement, stable and reliable data
Adopting the principle of calorimeter measurement, the measurement accuracy is high and the repeatability is strong. The repeatability can reach 0.05 m/s in aqueous medium (flow rate of 0.05-3 m/s); The temperature monitoring range is -20~100 ℃, with a resolution of 0.02 ℃. The temperature accuracy is ± 0.3K (water, flow rate 0.3-3 m/s) and ± 1K (air, flow rate>10 m/s), effectively avoiding the influence of temperature drift and ensuring accurate and reliable measurement data.
Flexible adaptation of flow velocity measurement range: 0.04-3 m/s in liquid mode, 0.04-6 m/s in liquid relative mode; 2-100 m/s in gas mode and 2-200 m/s in gas relative mode. Sensitivity can be flexibly matched according to the type of medium to meet the monitoring needs of different flow rate scenarios.
3、 IO Link intelligent interconnection, efficient and convenient operation and maintenance
