SICK FFU Flow Measurement Sensors

SICK SENSORS

SICK FFU Flow Measurement Sensors

• Flow sensor for conductive and non-conductive liquids
• Compact design with no moving parts
• Process temperature up to 80 °C, process pressure up to 16 bar
• High chemical resistance due to seal-free sensor design
• Large display with membrane keyboard
• Integrated empty tube detection

SICK FFU – BENEFITS

• Maintenance-free flow sensor, reduces maintenance costs
• Adjustable measuring ranges, reduced number of variants
• Can be used for conductive and non-conductive liquids, reducing both the number of variants and storage costs
• Straight measuring tube reduces pressure loss, thus reducing energy costs
• Sensor without seals increases process reliability and availability
• Flexible measuring device for all industries

SICK FFU Flow Measurement Sensors detect the flow volume of conductive and non-conductive liquids. Suitable for a wide variety of applications such as those with minimal space thanks to the compact design.

Higher process reliability is ensured even in harsh ambient conditions thanks to the IP67 enclosure rating with a seal-free sensor design and high-quality polysulfone (Ultrason S)

The SICK FFU has large cleartext display also helps provide simple, fast, and hassle-free commissioning.

Flow Measurement SENSOR APPLICATIONS

SICK FFU Flow Measurement Sensors enable flow measurement in industrial applications.

• Flow measurement in cooling circuits
• Flow monitoring in rinsing circuits with demineralized water
• Flow control in rinsing systems
• Use in CIP systems

Flow measurement for welding gun cooling

Overheating is common in welding guns so a constant supply of cooling water is required to stop this. The throughput must be monitored in this context.

The FFU flow sensor measures accurately without any moving parts and it’s rugged design allows for use in tough enviroments.
