Gas Flow Sensors
KEYENCE specializes in clamp-on type flow meters that enable stable flow rate measurement within the pipe or tube without any cutting or piping work required. Solutions for gas or compressed air flow sensing and metering can be provided for small and large diameter piping. As a result, clogging, leaks, or contamination are not factors. Additionally, the full-time recording function can automatically record the air consumption and power consumption, contributing to the collection of data for energy conservation activities.
Product Lineup : Gas Flow Rate
The FD-EP Series simultaneously monitors air flow and pressure to provide a full breakdown of pneumatic machine performance. The FD-EP Series also features built-in predictive maintenance modes specific to a variety of machines and applications (cylinders, seating confirmation, air blow, etc.) to identify common pneumatic equipment issues. Additionally, with its free flowing internal structure, the risk of clogging and pressure loss is eliminated.
The FD-EC Series Clamp-On Air Flow Sensor easily mounts to the outside of any tube, eliminating the risks & headaches found with conventional in-line flow sensors. With its ability to monitor a wide range of flow rates and clamp on to any tube, the FD-EC Series provides significant versatility. This series is compatible on tubes/hoses from ⌀6 mm (0.24″) to 12.7 mm (0.50″). This series also features a high-precision display that clearly conveys the status of the flow meter, allowing for straightforward operation.
The FD-G Series Clamp-on Gas Flow Meter can be easily installed from outside the pipe with only a screwdriver. The clamp-on design greatly reduces installation costs by eliminating the need for pipe modification. Detecting flow from outside the pipe eliminates the risk of restricting or blocking the flow of gas. It also eliminates the risk of leakage from new fittings. The device is compatible with stainless steel and iron pipes from—3/4" to 8"—and can measure compressed air, nitrogen, and other gases. The high-accuracy measurement, paired with a minimum sensitivity of 0.018 CFM, can be utilized for both large flows and incredibly small leaks. The high-definition display can also show both the total flow rate and the current flow rate for a set period, at the same time. Necessary functions for air management are also included, such as automatic leak volume measurement and monetary conversion.
Product Lineup : Air Quality Multi-Sensor
The MP-F Series Air Quality Multi-Sensor simultaneously monitors air flow, pressure, temperature, and humidity, for a complete breakdown of pneumatic machine air quality and consumption. Having an increased understanding of machine air usage allows for more stable machine operation, improved product quality, and ultimately cost savings. The MP-F Series also offers multiple options for data gathering (including the built-in display and dedicated software). Additionally, the unit provides clear visualization of air and electricity consumption. The MP-F Series also includes a built-in shut off valve, which allows users to control their air supply needs when machines are not in use.
