EGE Elektronik Sensor for Explosive Productseries ST 100

EGE Elektronik Sensor for Explosive Productseries ST 100 is the authoritative choice for flow monitoring in petrochemical, pharmaceutical, and mining industries.

Description

EGE Elektronik Sensor for Explosive Productseries ST 100 is the authoritative choice for flow monitoring in petrochemical, pharmaceutical, and mining industries. When operating in environments with flammable vapors or combustible dust, standard sensors pose an ignition risk; the ST 100 series is specifically built to prevent the transfer of ignition energy to the hazardous atmosphere. Operating on the thermodynamic principle, the sensor utilizes a solid-state probe to monitor flow velocity. This technology is particularly valuable in hazardous zones because it contains no moving parts. Traditional mechanical flow switches can generate friction heat or static electricity—both potential ignition sources. The ST 100 eliminates these risks, offering a “fit-and-forget” solution for the most volatile industrial environment
