Flow Sensors
Description
IST mass flow sensors can be found in various flow switches, controllers or meters as well as the heart of leakage or bubble detection systems. Their mass flow sensor elements utilise thermal measurement principles known for their long-term stability and ease of integration into any application with a known fluid. From the physical sensor level to a ready-to-use digital module, build your custom flow sensor with IST AG. Evaluation kits are available with the most common flow sensors.
