Operating Instructions

Main features

Flow sensor for conductive and non-conductive liquids

No moving parts, compact design

Process temperature up to 80 ° C, process pressure up to 

10 bar

High chemical resistance due to seal-free sensor design

Large display with keypad

Integrated empty pipe detection

Easy to clean, hygienic version available (EHEDG-approved 

and FDA compliant), CIP

Maintenance free flow sensor, saving maintenance costs

Adjustable ranges, reduces variants

Can be used for conducting and non-conducting liquids, 

reduces variants and storage costs

Straight measuring tube reduces pressure loss, thus 

saving on energy costs

Seal-free sensor increases process reliability and 

availability

Flexible measuring system for all industries

Flowcont UN
