EGE Elektronik Sensor for Explosive Productseries STSEX 02

The EGE Elektronik Sensor for Explosive Productseries STSEX 02 is the authoritative choice for precision flow monitoring in restricted spaces.

Description

The EGE Elektronik Sensor for Explosive Productseries STSEX 02 is the authoritative choice for precision flow monitoring in restricted spaces. In modern chemical dosing skids and pharmaceutical synthesis platforms, standard G1/2″ sensors are often too large for high-density piping. The STSEX 02 addresses this by offering the same level of Zone 0 safety in a compact G1/4″ housing.
