The Sigma 400 series

Sigma 400 flow / consumption sensor (insertion type)

 

 

The Sigma 400 series flow sensor  is based on the thermal mass flow principle. It measures volumetric standard flow over a wide measuring range. The result is pressure and temperature independent.


The sensor installation into the pipe is done through a ½” ball valve. This makes it possible to do the installation under pressure without shutting down the compressed air line.The sensor is available in two measuring ranges and with or without display. The version with display shows the actual volumetric flow and the total consumption. Via the keyboard tube diameters and the consumption counter can be set.


Every sensor includes an analogue output (4…20mA) for flow and an isolated pulse output for the consumption counter.

Special Features

  • Integrated display for m3/h and m3
  • Depth scale for accurate installation
  • Usable from 1/2” to 12” (DN 300)
  • Easy installation under pressure
  • 4...20 mA analogue output for m3/h resp. m3/min
  • Pulse output for m3
  • Inner diameter adjustable via keypad
  • Consumption counter resetable
  • Insertion type sensor for installations under pressure
  • Thermal mass flow, independent of pressure and temperature changes

SIGMA 430 - HIGH TEMPERATURE (up to 200 °C) APPLICATIONS FLOW / CONSUMPTION SENSOR

Sigma 430 is an insertion type flow meter using the pitot tube principle, designed for flow and consumption measurement in wet air, high mass flow or high velocity applications. Installation requires a G3/4″ connection and the mounting stem is graduated to simplify centering the sensor tip for pipe sizes up to 12″ diameter (DN300). Contact us for larger diameters

Sigma 430 has a new 3 line colour display displaying flow, velocity and pressure with bluetooth interface for remote sensor configuration. Sigma 430 offers a choice of communication options including 4-20mA, pulse and SDI (our Digital Interface), Modbus/RTU and MBUS.

Pressure range up to 1.6MPa
Output 4-20mA, SDI, Modbus/RTU, MBUS
Optional colour display
Bluetooth interface

Sigma 430 is ideal for measuring at the compressor outlet as the pitot tube design is not damaged by the very wet gas unlike thermal mass flow sensors which cannot be used here. Sigma 430 offers FAD calculation facilities for accurate measurement of compressor performance.
