New from SIKA: Magnetic-inductive flow sensor, compact and cost-effective

The cost-effectiveness of the extremely compact magnetic-inductive flow sensor VMI from SIKA means that this field-proven process technology method can now also be applied for mechanical engineering measuring procedures. The VMI functions according to the induction principle.

If an electrically conductive medium flows through the measuring tube and, therefore, at right angles to the magnetic field, a voltage will be induced in the medium. This means, the flow velocity-dependent voltage signal provides a flow-proportional frequency signal as the output signal. The measuring range of the quick-response sensor is 2…40 l/min, the process connection occurs via an external thread G½.

The advantages of the sensor are mighty impressive:

• No moving parts, no wear
• Free pipe cross section, no additional pressure loss
• Resistant to soiled liquids
  

Thanks to the measuring principle, changes to the temperature, density, viscosity, concentration or electrical conductivity of the medium do not affect the output signal. The VMI can be used in areas where flow sensors with moving parts, e. g. vane sensors, cannot be applied due to soiled media. The sensor is intended for measuring flow rates or dosing liquids. The VMI is the ideal flow sensor for interference free operation combined with long service life.
