IO-Link digital communication provides detailed process insight
Digital communication ensures greater measurement accuracy and reliability by eliminating signal conversion losses. It also enables continuous monitoring of flow velocity (relative mode), flow rate (absolute mode), and temperature alongside conventional outputs.

Multiple process connection options
The SA series offers multiple process connections, including NPT, BSPP, M18 threaded connections, or a smooth 6mm probe for clamped installations. Various probe lengths are available to accommodate 2-16" pipe sizes, ensuring flexibility across different applications.

Calorimetric sensing principle measures (cooling effect of moving fluids)
Two platinum RTDs and a heater in the sensor tip maintain a constant 4°C temperature difference. As liquid or gas flows, heat is conducted away, and the power needed to maintain ΔT reveals the flow rate, ensuring reliable performance across applications.
