The EGE Elektronik Sensor for Explosive Productseries STS 104 K is the authoritative solution for precision flow monitoring where installation space is at a premium.
The EGE Elektronik Sensor for Explosive Productseries STS 104 K is the authoritative solution for precision flow monitoring where installation space is at a premium. In modern chemical and pharmaceutical plants, small-diameter piping and high-density manifolds require sensors that don’t compromise on safety despite their small size. The STS 104 K provides full ATEX/IECEx Zone 0 protection in a compact G1/4″ housing.
EGE-Elektronik Spezial-Sensoren GmbH has been developing and manufacturing special purpose sensors for automation applications since 1976. The company serves leading international producers from a wide range of industries. Its product portfolio includes flow controllers, infrared, opto and ultrasonic sensors, capacitive proximity switches, light barriers and inductive proximity switches. EGE also provides sensors for highly sensitive applications, e. g. hazardous areas. The development department`s highly qualified staff cooperates closely with all customers, ensuring continuous product updates and enhancement.
EGE has been a pioneer in the field of flow controller and an innovator and decisive participant in the development of today's globally utilized thermal flow controllers. The in-house EMC and test laboratories ensure that all inspections and tests required for permits and conformity certificates are carried out quickly and reliably. Product quality is guaranteed with a continuously monitored quality management system in accordance with EN ISO 9001:2000.
