Bürkert Oval Gear Volume Flow Sensor for Low Volume Flow Rates

This sensor is specially designed for measurement or batch control of highly viscous fluids like glue, honey or oil. It allows an easy connection to transmitters like Type 8025 or Type 8619 for more functionality. The sensor for low volume flow operates according to the oval-gear measuring principle. This well-proven oval gear principle enables reliable and highly accurate measurements with high repeatability over a wide flow and viscosity range. Low pressure loss and high pressure resistance allow the device to be used in a variety of applications, even at low pressure conditions All sensors provide Open Collector NPN frequency output and frequency output on Reed contact via 1-meter 5-wire cable.
