Ex works for hydrogen

New parameterizable flow sensor from IPF

Hydrogen is one of the straight energy sources of the future. As a result, more and more applications for this medium are emerging in practice. One example among many is the measurement of the volume of hydrogen produced using renewable energies.

The parameterizable flow sensor SY98F002 with freely scalable analog output (4...20mA), pulse output and Modbus TCP (Ethernet) from IPF was developed to measure the consumption of various gases and is already calibrated ex works for the medium hydrogen in accordance with customer requirements. In general, IPF can calibrate all flow sensors to the medium requested by the customer, provided the sensor is designed for this. The functionality of the SY98F002 is based, like all flow sensors from IPF, on the calorimetric principle. This device therefore provides highly precise values for the volume, flow rate, speed and temperature of gaseous media.

The robust housing design of the sensor with integrated LED display, which is also designed for outdoor use, is particularly striking. The integrated measuring section is via a DN50 process connection with welding neck flange. Other process connections are also possible.

The SY98F002 is pressure-proof up to 16 bar (other devices as high-pressure variants on request) and is parameterized via two optical buttons on the easy-to-read display on the front. The electrical supply is provided by a connection cable that is inserted into the device via the cable gland. MBus, RS485, Ethernet or Ethernet with PoE are available as data interfaces. Along with the SY98F002 IPF is also able to provide other devices calibrated for hydrogen with various process connections and data interfaces according to customer requirements.
