Mass Flow Sensors

IST thin film mass flow sensors offer solutions for a wide variety of flow applications.  The thin film and membrane technologies incorporate highly accurate temperature sensors and heaters as core elements of the sensors.  IST flow sensors are applicable in both liquid and gas, have an operating temperature range of -30°C to +150°C, and can measure flow rate and direction from 0.0001m/s (microflowSens) to 100m/s.

 

Development channels guarantee the best possible adaptation of our sensors to the requirements of your application, whether in terms of dynamic range, response time, directional detection or ambient conditions. Connecting options such as different wires, solutions on flexible substrates or injection-molded encapsulations are available.
