Sensirion Add Mass Flow Meter For Gas Mixing Medtech Applications
The SFM4200 mass flow meter
is a new star in the Sensirion range. Thanks to its high pressure
resistance, it can be operated at pressures of up to 8 bar and measures
flow rates up to 160 slm with a rapid signal processing time of 0.5 ms.
It is particularly suitable for gas mixing in medical applications.
Sensirion is a manufacturer of
innovative sensors and sensor solutions. With the launch of the SFM4200 digital mass flow meter SF4200, which measures air, oxygen and other non-corrosive gases with an
outstanding level of accuracy, is pressure-resistant than its
predecessors and can be operated up to 8 bar pressure, while delivering
reliable and precise measurements. With a signal processing time of 0.5
ms, the sensor is incredibly fast, as well as highly accurate. Its
pressure resistance makes it ideally suited to high-volume medical
applications such as oxygen gas mixing in respiratory applications,
where the sensor is integrated into the high-pressure side. Customers
can therefore install the SFM4200 flexibly, allowing them to use it to
significantly develop their own products or to transform the design.
The SFM4200 operates from a 5 Volt supply voltage and features a digital two-wire I2C
interface. The measurement results are internally linearized and
temperature compensated. The outstanding performance of this sensor is
based on Sensirion's patented CMOSens Technology,
which combines the sensor element, signal processing and digital
calibration on a single microchip. The flow rate of the gas is measured
by a thermal sensor element which assures very fast signal processing
time and bidirectional measurement with best-in-class accuracy. The
well-proven CMOSens Technology is perfectly suited for high-quality
mass production and is the perfect choice for demanding and
cost-sensitive customer-specific applications.
The official launch will take place on February 6th at MD&M West in Anaheim.
