Product catalog summary
Overview: The SEMIFLOW CO.66/xxxPI Ex1 is an ultrasonic flow sensor designed for use in potentially explosive atmospheres, particularly in industries such as semiconductor, biotechnology, pharmaceutical, and chemical. It is ideal for applications requiring strict hygiene and explosion protection.
Specifications: The sensor operates with a Barrier Box ST Ex1, ensuring explosion protection compliant with ATEX, IECEx, and KTL standards. It supports industrial dosing applications and features an RS-485 interface for bus operation in harsh environments. It is suitable for Zone 1, gas group IIB, with a protection level of "Gb".
Sensor Dimensions and Types: Various sensor types are available, each designed for different tubing diameters and flow rates, with specific dimensions and weights.
Tubing and Calibration: Sensors are factory calibrated with specific tubing and inlays for accurate acoustic coupling, documented in a calibration report.
Accuracy: Accuracy varies by sensor type and flow rate, with maximum flow rates ranging from 6,000 ml/min to 150,000 ml/min.
Safety and Technical Data: The sensor features intrinsic safety with parameters for maximum supply voltage, current, and power. It operates within a media temperature range of +20 to +80 °C.
Interfaces: Includes current output for flow rate, RS-485 interface, switching output, and digital input, supporting bus operation for up to 12 devices.
Electrical Connection: Requires a 5 VDC operating voltage and features an 8-pin connector. Proper shielding and connection to the Barrier Box ST Ex1 are necessary.

SEMIFLOW CO.66-1

Technical Data Sheet The clamp-on-sensors SEMIFLOW CO.66/xxxPI Ex1 combined with Barrier Box ST Ex1 detect the flow rate of liquids in rigid plastic tubes of different diameters within a few milliseconds. Industrial applications in the semiconductor industry are typical: use in wafer cleaning equipment, lithography equipment, mixing equipment, chemical supply systems or slurry lines. The sensors have no contact to the fluid and are suitable for all applications with strict hygienic requirements, e.g. biotechnology, pharmaceutical industries or chemical industry. Due to the switching output the sensors support industrial dosing applications. The RS-485 interface allows bus operation in rough environments. They have complete built-in electronics and can be easily integrated in machines or apparatuses. The sensors used with the Barrier Box ST Ex1 are protected against explosion hazard by gases, vapors or liquids (gas group IIB). The device protection level is "Gb" for use in Zone 1 in compliance with ATEX, IECEx and KTL standards. Type SEMIFLOW Order-No. Order-No. Set (1) Dimensions Fixing holes Weight Sensor (1) (incl. Barrier Box (L x w x H) (approx.) (1) Sensors must be operated solely via the associated Barrier Box ST Ex1 (see corresponding ‘Technical Data Sheet')
