Precise Measurement in the ml Range

Sensirion (Switzerland) launch a new flow sensor for flow rates below 100 ml/min. The reliable, inexpensive SLQ-HC60 fills a gap in the existing range of products for precise measurement in the low millimeter range.

The new water resistant flow meter SLQ-HC60 operates without moving parts and grants highest reliability and media compatibility. Flow rates below 100 ml/min can be measured for a wide range of media. Also the detection of bubbles in the microliter range is possible.   This small, highly sensitive, MEMS-based flowmeter enables precise measurement of dynamic flow rates with a response time of less than 50 ms. The SLQ-HC60 requires a supply voltage of 4 V and provides a 0–10 V analog output signal. Media separation ensures that liquids only get into contact with glass, PEEK™ and Tefzel® during the measuring process. The simple, straight flow channel of the SLQ-HC60 can be connected to 1/8” or 3 mm plastic hoses via threaded couplings.
