Functional principle

The FCST flow sensors operate on the thermodynamic principle. Thanks to the modular plug-in concept, they can be aligned freely within the flow channel, independent from the process connection. The modular concept makes installation and precise alignment of the sensor easy which is very important for flow monitoring. The adapters are available in all standard Quick-Teach, diagnostics, IO-Link transfer of process values and device parameters. LEDs as well as a 10-segment LED band at the front indicate the local operating status.

Correct installation To retrieve the full performance potential of the sensor, it must be aligned correctly. In
Correct installation particular when monitoring bad heat-conductive media such as oils, liquids with high
Correct installation solids, abrasive media, etc., when exposed to fast temperature changes (K/min) and,
Correct installation in general, near components with analog output.
Correct installation Correct installation is ensured, as soon as the effective flow direction of the application matches the direction of flow indicated by the "arrow" on the sensor.
Pressure resistance 100 bar
Mounting Adapter The freely rotatable flow sensors are mounted with the FCA-FCST adapter. The
Mounting Adapter adapter is screwed in a T piece or a welding sleeve and sealed accordingly. When
Mounting Adapter assembling adapters with cylindrical thread, use the enclosed seal (e.g. G1/4, G1/2,
Mounting Adapter G3/4, etc.). Mounting adapters with NPT-thread are generally delivered without seal
Mounting Adapter (e.g. N1/2). Use hemp or teflon tape
Mounting Adapter The sensor is fixed in the adapter by means of a captive nut fitted between the upper
Mounting Adapter housing part and the cone seat.
Process connection M18 × 1.5 female thread
Design Immersion
Housing material Stainless steel, 1.4571 (AISI 316Ti)
Mounting position In order to minimize potential misinterpretations due to disturbance, it is recommended to position the sensor with a minimum separation distance of 3 x di before and 5 x
Mounting position di after bends, changes in cross section, valves, etc..
Mounting position ■If the flow channel is not completely filled with the medium, it is recommended to install the sensor from underneath.
Mounting position ■If deposits are likely to built up, it is recommended to install the sensor on the side.
Mounting position It is important to note that deposits can also form on the tip, which may affect the
Mounting position monitoring results. Therefore, it is recommended to clean the sensor at regular intervals and to select the associated service interval accordingly.
Mounting position ■If blistering is to be expected, ensure that there is no air bubble located in the area
Mounting position of the tip when installing the sensor.
Mounting position ■If the sensor is mounted in vertical piping systems, it is recommended to position
Mounting position the sensor within the riser.
