EGE Elektronik Sensors with Integrated Amplifier Productseries SC 440/6-A4-GSP

Description

EGE Elektronik Sensors with Integrated Amplifier Productseries SC 440/6-A4-GSP represents the ultimate solution for monitoring flow in large-scale industrial fluid systems. In heavy industrial installations or systems with thick insulation, standard probe lengths often fail to reach the core of the flow profile, leading to turbulent or inaccurate readings. The SC 440/6 variant solves this challenge with its specialized 120mm probe length, ensuring the sensor tip is positioned deep within the laminar flow for the most representative measurement possible.

Features

Integrated Evaluation Amplifier: Built-in electronics enable direct PLC connection, saving cabinet space and drastically reducing wiring complexity.
Extra-Extended 120mm Probe: Optimized for very large pipe diameters (DN100 and above) or installations requiring penetration through thick vessel walls and insulation.
Thermodynamic Measurement: No moving parts in the flow stream, preventing mechanical failure and ensuring long-term stability even in media containing particulates.

Applications

Large-Scale Infrastructure: The 120mm probe is ideal for monitoring flow in major water mains, large cooling headers, and heavy industrial intake lines.
Insulated Piping Systems: Perfect for installations where the sensor must pass through thick thermal insulation before reaching the fluid.
Pump Dry-Run Prevention: Detecting the absence of liquid in large suction lines for high-capacity industrial pumps.
