Flow sensors Series FS

Sizes: 17, 30, 35
The Series FS is available for flows ranging from 0.5 to 2000 L/min, offered in three different sizes, also available with the pressure sensor version included.
The display is designed to be rotatable, thus allowing for easy reading of the monitored values.
The cumulative flow rate is immediately visible on the display.Main features:

  • Real-time monitoring: Allows for constant flow control at all times.
  • Wide range of applications: Suitable for multiple uses, from small workshops to large industries.
  • Painting robots: Ideal for managing the airflow in painting processes, contributing to the economization of technical gases.
