Flowplus for fluids in motion is a compact, medium-resistant pressure sensor with no dead space. In dosing technology, changes in pressure can be used to determine various conclusions relating to the process. The pres-sure sensor generates a standardised, compatible, linearised and temperature-compensating output signal. It also contains an integrated measurement amplifier, which can convert a millivolt signal into a standardised volt signal.
Flowplus was equal to the challenge of implementing the elastomer geometry in the enclosure and connecting the measuring cell with the elastomer. Another challenge was the vulcanisation of the very thin elastomer dia-phragm within the very narrow tolerance range required. The flow channel has been fully spray-coated with FFKM. The elastomer used has optimal chemical resistance and a high temperature resistance that makes the material flexible enough to be used in a wide range of applications. The FFKM used here is FDA-certified and therefore, suitable for food industry use. The FFKM coating also acts as a remote seal that enables the rubber to transfer the force (pressure) to the measuring cell.
