2 Application range
The SCHMIDT®Flow sensor SS 20.651 is designed for the stationary
measurement of flow velocity as well as temperature of air. The sensor
measures standard velocity wN(unit: m/s) based on standard conditions
of 1013.25 hPa and 20 °C. The output signal is linear and independent of
pressure and temperature of the measured medium.
The basic version (without coating) is suitable only for clean air. Especially
the occurrence of aggressive components (e.g. sulfur, chlorine, phosphor,
etc.) can be done only on the customer's own responsibility.
Due to the high operating temperatures even low concentrations
of aggressive components can lead to a significant reduction of
the sensor’s lifetime.
With optional coating (Parylene) the sensor exhibits a higher tolerance
concerning pollution and an increased media resistance. The respective
suitability has to be considered in each case due to the different environ-
mental conditions.
When using the sensor outdoors, it must be protected against
direct exposure to the weather.
