The ifm efector SB Series Flow Sensor is designed to reliably detect the flow rate of water and oils. It includes outputs for both flow rate and medium temperature. Because of the sensing principle, it is ideal for applications where fast response time is required or when the medium temperature changes rapidly .

The sensor operates in pressure ranges from 25 to 100 bar and temperatures from 14 to 212°F. It is optimized specifically for water and oils, ensuring accurate and reliable measurement. Integrated temperature measurement eliminates the need for a separate sensor, saving installation time and cost .

The variable process connection using adapters provides flexibility for different installation requirements. The sensor features a quick response time and a red/green color change indication for process values, allowing operators to quickly assess flow status at a glance .

Common applications include machine tools and industrial furnaces where precise flow monitoring of water or oil is critical for process control and equipment protection .
