Sapphire Series

Overview

Thin-film capacitance flow sensing replaces the metal electrodes that fail first in conventional meters. By eliminating electrical contact with the fluid, this patent-pending design removes the primary cause of device degradation. The result is a highly reliable, drift-free sensor with nothing to clog, corrode or contaminate.

• Zero-Wear Contactless Design: Thin-film capacitance technology eliminates direct fluid contact and fragile metal electrodes—the leading cause of meter failure.
• Precise Measurement: Delivers high accuracy data thanks to an extremely low signal-to-noise ratio filtering out interference.
• Purity Protection: Features a non-reactive surface that doesn't contaminate high-purity or sensitive fluids.
• Industrial-Grade Durability: Utilizes a rugged sapphire coating to resist chemical corrosion, wear and abrasion.
• Long-Term Stability: Reduces maintenance costs through a stable sensor design that doesn't drift over time.
• Cost-Effective Design: Premium performance at a price point similar to standard electromagnetic flow meters.
