Flow sensors in the new SA series from ifm electronic have been specifically developed to provide accurate and reliable monitoring of exhaust air flow on machines , thereby helping to ensure that potentially harmful dust , gases and vapours are safely removed and do not escape into the factory environment . The sensors incorporate robust stainlesssteel probes , which makes them suitable for use in many applications where corrosive gases and vapours are present . Three versions of ifm ’ s new SA sensors are available . The SA5020 has a 45 mm long probe and an M18 fitting , while the SA4120 and SA4320 have 100 mm and 200 mm long probes respectively and are installed via a compression fitting that allows optimal installation in ducts and pipes .
All types available in this range have an air velocity measuring range of 0.6 to 30 m / s and all incorporate a temperature sensor . In many applications , this means that one sensor can do the job of two .
