S 401 Flow/Consumption sensor (Insertion Type)
Features S 401
- Tube diameters of DN25 to DN500.
- 2 installation types: center installation and 100 mm insertion depth installation for bigger pipes (> DN250)
- Installation under pressure through 1/2” ball valve
Common Features S 401 & S 421
- Measures standard flow, mass flow, consumption and temperature
- Thermal mass flow, independent of pressure and temperature changes
- IP65 casing provides robust protection in rough industrial environment
- Very fast response time
- High accuracy and wide measuring range
- Isolated mA and pulse output signals or Modbus/RTU interface
- Selectable gas type (some gases require real gas calibration!)
- App for mobile phones and tablets for sensor settings via BlueTooth
- Sensor can be calibrated in 2 different gases
