A fully straight pipe sanitary flow sensor capable of detecting foreign objects and bubbles.
FLOWave Type8098
Foreign object detection and bubble detection are also possible! The FLOWave Type 8098 flow sensor, a completely straight pipe design, allows for flow measurement regardless of conductivity.
The "FLOWave Type8098" is a sanitary flow sensor that utilizes Surface Acoustic Waves (SAW) as the measurement medium, enabling accurate flow measurement even with ultra-pure water that has zero conductivity. It can also detect foreign substances and bubbles based on SAW propagation rates. This sensor is a complete straight pipe design with no pressure loss, serving as an alternative to Coriolis-type sensors. ● Capable of measuring ultra-pure water, WFI, pure water, contact cleaning solutions, oils, etc., regardless of conductivity. ● Lightweight and high-precision flow sensor, weighing 3.4 kg for 2S and 2 kg for 15A. ● Applicable for foreign substance detection and bubble detection based on SAW propagation rates. By adopting SAW (Surface Acoustic Waves) technology, it can measure without depending on conductivity. The complete straight stainless steel tube design, which removes the probe and detection element from the wetted area, achieves the same level of cleanliness as a straight pipe. In addition to high sanitary properties, it is suitable for ultra-pure water and WFI, where electromagnetic flow meters cannot be used. It can also be used for edible oils, liquid eggs, and milk (liquid milk). 【Features】 ○ Excellent cleanliness with full bore and detection section not in contact with the fluid. ○ A flow sensor suitable for ultra-pure water and pharmaceutical applications, usable with zero conductivity. ○ Achieves high precision of ±0.4% O.R. (flow velocity 1 m/s - 10 m/s).

basic information
Measurement accuracy: ±0.4% O.R. (flow rate 1 to 10 [m/s]), ±0.08% F.S. (flow rate 0.1 to 1 [m/s]) Measurement items: volumetric flow, instantaneous flow, temperature, ATF (SAW transmission rate), Density Factor Fluid temperature: -20 to 110℃ (max 140℃ for less than 60 minutes) Output format: 4-20mA analog signal & pulse output or industrial Ethernet (EtherNet/IP, PROFINET, Modbus/TCP, EtherCAT) Pipe connection: 15A to 2S helical 【Measurement principle】 Adopts SAW (Surface Acoustic Waves). Four digital transducers installed on the outside of the stainless steel tube perform the transmission and reception of SAW. The SAW received by each transducer is processed to calculate the flow rate, so the conductivity value does not affect the measurement. Since the frequency is above 1MHz, external vibrations do not affect measurement accuracy.
