The IFM SF5200 is a robust flow sensor probe designed to provide reliable flow detection in both liquid and gas applications. With its high sensitivity, durable process connection, and wide operating range, the SF5200 offers engineers and operators a dependable solution for ensuring safe and efficient process control in industrial environments.

At the core of the SF5200’s design is its versatile sensing capability. The device features an adjustable setting range of 3…300 cm/s, allowing it to detect both low and high flow velocities with accuracy. Its greatest sensitivity lies in the 3…60 cm/s range, making it particularly effective for detecting low flow conditions where precision is critical. This versatility enables it to serve applications ranging from leak detection and process monitoring to ensuring minimum flow thresholds in complex systems.

The process connection is provided by an M18 x 1.5 internal thread, a standardised fitting that allows secure and leak-free installation into pipelines or process connections. This design ensures the sensor remains stable even under fluctuating flow conditions and enables straightforward integration into a wide variety of existing process setups.

Engineered for adaptability, the SF5200 is suitable for both liquids and gases, making it a truly multi-purpose flow sensor. This broad media compatibility means that the same device can be deployed across different systems, helping reduce inventory requirements and standardise process monitoring solutions across an industrial site.

The SF5200 is designed for demanding operating environments, with a medium temperature range of -25…80 °C. This ensures consistent performance even under extreme thermal conditions, making it ideal for industries such as food and beverage, chemical processing, HVAC, and general manufacturing. Its robust design also ensures a long service life, reducing downtime and maintenance needs.

The sensor probe connects to the VS3000 control monitor, which allows for configuration, monitoring, and visualisation of flow conditions. This modular approach provides operators with greater flexibility, as the SF5200 can be paired with a dedicated control unit that centralises flow monitoring and ensures easy adjustment to process requirements.

In summary, the IFM SF5200 combines precision sensing, robust design, and versatile media compatibility in a compact and dependable flow sensor probe. With its wide adjustment range, sensitivity to low flows, high-temperature tolerance, and compatibility with the VS3000 control monitor, it is an excellent choice for engineers and system integrators seeking accurate, reliable, and flexible flow detection in industrial environments.
