Due to the device construction with flow velocities from 3cm/s to 300cm/s , process temperatures from –20°C to +85°C, process pressures up to 16bar, process material stainless steel V4A as well as the availability of a variety of process connections like elastomer-free and free of dead space metallic sealing connection, EHEDG-/3A-/FDA-conformal, Varivent® – on request, dairy coupling DIN 11851 – on request, Tri-Clamp® / Clamp DIN 32676 / Clamp ISO 2852 – on reques, aseptic tube coupling DIN 11864-1-A – on request, DRD, APV-Inline, BioControl®, SMS, flanges acc. to DIN and ISO – on request the device is especially suitable for the use for food and beverage industry, for pharmaceutical industry, for biotechnology and for sterile process engineering.

The flow switch is suitable for demanding measuring requirements. 

Due to its high accuracy and the high flexibility of configuration, the device can be suited a wide variety of applications.

The process connection with metallic sealing has been specifically designed for the hygienic, dead-space and elastomer-free process adaption.

The robust design and the high-quality workmanship turns the device into a very high quality product, which even the most adverse environmental conditions cannot affect, whether the lowest temperatures when used outdoors, extreme shock and vibration or aggressive media.

A captive laser marking of the type label ensures the identifiability throughout the entire lifetime of the device.

Obviously is the optional marking of a measurement point designation resp. TAG, a customer label or of a neutral type label, of course also per laser marking.

A LABS-free resp. silicone-free version, a factory calibration with calibration certificate and a customer specific configuration resp. preset is also optionally available like a material test certificate EN10204 3.1 or factory certifications for drink water resp. food suitability.

Customer specific special versions can be realized on request, e.g. software adaption (menu navigation, special functions, etc.), changed terminal assignment resp. connector orientation, design adaption of the user surface and special designs for the process connection.
