EGE Elektronik Sensor for Explosive Productseries STS 110 K-L80

Description

The EGE Elektronik Sensor for Explosive Productseries STS 110 K-L80 is the authoritative choice for industrial facilities that manage flammable fluids in pipes with insulation or larger diameters. While standard sensors may fail to reach the active flow profile, the L80 (80mm probe) allows the sensing tip to penetrate deeper into the medium, ensuring accurate velocity measurement even in complex piping geometries. Operating on the thermodynamic principle, the STS 110 K-L80 provides a critical safety advantage in Zone 0 (Gas) and Zone 20 (Dust): it contains no moving parts. In volatile environments, mechanical switches (like paddles or turbines) are high-risk components that can fail due to friction, generate static electricity, or jam—all of which are potential ignition sources. This solid-state sensor eliminates those risks entirely.
