June 23, 2015 - Keyence introduces FD-Q flow monitor that clamps on to the outside of a pipe and can accurately sense the flow of liquid through metal or resin pipes ranging from ¼” to 2.”
No pipe modification is needed with the FD-Q series. The FD-Q series can be mounted to a machine, while running, with a Phillips screwdriver. By mounting to the outside of a pipe, both cost and time are kept at a minimum. The ease of installation, and associated cost savings with mounting externally, open up countless machines to flow monitoring that were once considered unrealistic.
The FD-Q series can detect virtually any type of liquid. This includes the flow of water (including deionized), oils, chemicals, consumer products, etc. Limitations of traditional liquid flow sensors do not apply to the FD-Q because the unit does not directly contact the liquid.
