1.What clamp-on flow sensors/flow meters does XY-TEK provide?
XY-TEK currently offers 4 kind of clamp-on flow sensors /flow meters series: CG, CM, CS, and CPD series. For flow sensor/flow meter product details, please visit: http://xy-tek.com
2.Which clamp-on flow sensor / flowmeters support measure flexible tubing? Which flow sensor / flow meter support measure rigid tubing?
The CG and CM series ultrasonic flow sensor / flow meters support flexible plastic tubing such as PVC. The CS and CPD series ultrasonic flow sensor / flow meters support rigid plastic tubing made of various materials, including PFA and PTFE.
3.What flexible tubing materials can the CG/CM series flow sensors / flow meters measure?
PVC tubing, silicone tubing, TPE tubing, etc. For other tubing materials, please consult XYTEK pre-sale engineers at global@xy-tek.cn
4.What are the differences between the CG and CM series flow sensor / flow meters?
The CM clamp-on flow sensor / flow meters supports RS-485 output only, supports customization, more suitable for OEM applications.
The CG series supports multiple outputs, including current, voltage, RS-485, and digital (pulse) output.
5.What tubing outer diameters (OD) are supported by CG and CM clamp on flow sensor / flow meter for flexible tubing?
CG and CM series flow sensor / flow meter supports measure flow rate in flexible tubing with OD range 4 mm–35 mm, 5/32" to 1 3/8". Other OD size can be customized. Specific OD size please visit XY-TEK website https://xy-tek.com/
6.Can CG and CM clamp on ultrasonic flow sensors / flow meters be mounted on a medical device panel?
Yes. Both CG and CM flow sensors / flow meters have reserved screw holes on the back for mounting on a medical device panel.
7.What rigid tubing materials can CS/CPD clamp on flow sensor / flow meters measure?
CS/CPD clamp on flow sensor / flow meters support measure flow rate in rigid tubing, including PFA, PTFE, Teflon, PVDF, PP, Nylon, etc. (excluding metal tubes).
8.What are the differences between CS and CPD clamp on flow sensor / flow meters?
Different mechanical design/appearance. CPD includes a display, while CS does not has display. In terms of outputs, compared with CPD, CS clamp on flow sensor / flow meters additionally supports voltage output and pulse output.
9.What rigid tubing outer diameters (OD) are supported by CS/CPD ultrasonic flow sensor / flow meters?
CS series clamp on flow sensor / flow meter currently support measure flow rate in rigid tubing with OD: 1/4" (6.4 mm), 5/16" (7.9 mm), 3/8" (9.5 mm), 1/2" (12.7 mm), 5/8" (15.9 mm), 3/4" (19.1 mm), 1" (25.4 mm). Custom OD sizes are available.
CPD series clamp on flow sensor / flow meter currently supports measure flow rate in rigid tubing with OD: 1/4" (6.4 mm), 3/8" (9.5 mm), 1/2" (12.7 mm), 3/4" (19.1 mm), 1" (25.4 mm). Custom OD sizes are available.
10.Can the clamp-on flow sensor / flow meter be installed by hanging directly on the tubing?
Yes. Installation is very flexible; the primary method is clamping directly onto the tubing.
