FS7.0.1L.195

FS7.0.1L.195

Innovative Sensor Technology, USA Division
Gas Flow Sensor 0 ~ 100m/s Plastic
Active202 in stock

Overview

The FS7.0.1L.195 is a thermal mass gas flow sensor from Innovative Sensor Technology designed for high-velocity measurements up to 100 m/s. It utilizes a resistive heater and temperature-sensitive elements on a ceramic substrate to provide precise flow data with a sensitivity of 0.01 m/s. This compact sensor operates across a wide temperature range of -20C to 150C, making it suitable for demanding industrial and automotive environments.

Why Choose This Part

This sensor offers an exceptional dynamic range from 0 to 100 m/s with a high sensitivity of 0.01 m/s. Its robust construction allows for operation in extreme temperatures up to 150C, while the simple 2V to 5V input requirement eases integration into standard digital and analog control circuits.

Applications

HVAC Airflow Monitoring
Measuring duct air velocity and volume flow for climate control optimization.
Automotive Intake Airflow
Monitoring mass air flow in engine management systems and cabin ventilation.
Industrial Process Control
Detecting gas flow rates in pneumatic systems and compressed air monitoring.
Medical Ventilators
Providing high-sensitivity flow feedback for respiratory gas delivery systems.

Getting Started

To evaluate this sensor, engineers should implement a constant temperature anemometer (CTA) or constant current bridge circuit to translate the resistance changes into a measurable voltage. Calibration should be performed in the target gas medium, as thermal conductivity varies between gases. IST provides application notes for bridge circuit design to ensure optimal accuracy and response time.
