                          The SLG liquid flow meters are the perfect solution for dynamic liquid flow monitoring in cutting edge Ultra-High-Pressure Liquid Chromatography (UHPLC) and other applications requiring precise measurement of ultra-low flow rates.

                          A highly sensitive CMOSens® microchip detects the mass flow through the wall of the fused silica flow channel. The flow channel withstands pressures up to 1200 bar / 17500 psi. At the same time the response time for measurements is 40 ms only. The combination of these properties enables the high-end devices of the SLG series to be especially suited for monitoring dynamic flow rates in cutting-edge chromatography systems. Great repeatability for analyses - the most important criterion in HPLC and microfluidic systems - is ensured. The maximum flow rate of the SLG-0075 is 5 µl/min in precision mode and 20 µl/min in extended mode. The SLG-0025 provides reliable liquid flow measurements down to 70 nl/min and even below. The SLG-0150 completes the SLG series with a slightly higher flow range than the SLG-0075, at a reduced pressure drop. It is the first choice for laboratory setups and leakage detection at moderate pressures up to 500 bar.

                          The SLG liquid flow meters in combination with one of the SCC1 sensor cables offers a modular solution with a suitable electrical interface for almost any environment:

                        • Versatile Liquid Flow Meter for up to 120 ml/min and Highly Viscous Fluids

                          The SLQ-QT500 features a flow range of up to 120 ml/min for water-based and hydrocarbon-based liquids, such as alcohols, solvents, oil, fuel and adhesives. It is the first choice for measurement of liquids containing particles or with a high viscosity. The SLQ-QT500 in combination with one of the SCC1 sensor cables can be easily integrated into demanding coating systems in the semicon industry, as well as into a wide array of dispensing and liquid flow systems in other industries.

                          The high sensitivity and measuring speed offers new possibilities for the monitoring and control of fast dispensing processes. The sensor is available with calibrations for H2O and isopropanol (IPA). Due to its micro-thermal measurement principle and large inner diameter, the measurement performance of the SLQ-QT500 does not depend on the viscosity itself, and so there is no strict upper or lower viscosity limit (e.g. kinematic viscosities of up to ~1000 mm2/s). It is also ideal for liquids that contain small particles, as long as they do not abrade the quartz glass tube.

                          For wetted parts, only PFA for the fittings and quartz glass for the inner flow channel have been chosen. As with all other Sensirion liquid flow meters, this reliable device has no moving parts and measures through the wall of a straight flow path.

                          • Liquid Flow Meter LG01

                          • The LG01 Flow Switch sensor detects ultra-low liquid flow rates or the presence of air in fluidic systems and therefore makes them more reliable.

                            The detection of liquid flows is possible within the range of a few ml/min and less. The sensor's output signal of either 0 or 5 volts indicates whether the current flow rate is above or below the specified flow switch level.
