Sika Launch New VMI Product
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.
