                • SLx – Standalone Liquid Flow Meters

                • The SLI, SLS, SLQ, and SLG liquid flow meters all feature a robust IPxx protected housing and the same 4-pin M8 connector. In combination with the SCC1-USB, RS485, or analog sensor cables, they provide a modular solution that covers a wide range of flow rates from single-digit nanoliters per minute up to several hundred milliliters per minute, and a suitable electrical interface for almost any environment:

                  • SCC1-USB sensor cable for laboratory and desktop use provides a plug-and-play connection to a PC for operation with Sensirion’s viewer software or user-built programs.
                  • SCC1-RS485 sensor cable for demanding industrial automation environments features a stable RS485 interface and includes advanced functionalities such as dispense volume totalizer, automatic dispense detection and data buffer for asynchronous read-out.
                  • SCC1-Analog sensor cable for simple and quick readings without programming or for integration into generic controller systems. In addition to a 0-10 V analog voltage output, the cable provides a configurable digital (high/low) output that can be programmed to act as a flow switch or as a pulse output. 


                  The SLx liquid flow meters are the first choice for standalone applications in industrial automation systems, laboratory set-ups, bench-top testing, and technology evaluation. The robust housing (IP53 or higher) protects them from dust or accidental spills.

                    • For Ultra-Low Flow Rates and UHPLC

                      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:

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. At flow rates above this limit the identification of air bubbles within the flow channel is equally consistent (leak detection). The non-invasive measurement principle of the liquid flow sensor LG01 allows detecting the current state of fluid through the wall of the internal glass capillary. Thus, the sensor provides highest bio-compatibility and chemical resistance. Measurements of the liquid flow detector are performed with a response time of less than 100ms.

                                      • Smart Home

                                      • The Internet of Things (IoT) makes our house a smart home: effectively an interconnected living area where machines, too, interact with each other. Due to this tight network of and communication between electronic devices via sensors, a house “learns” how best to work according to the requirements of its occupants. For example, it controls and monitors the power consumption, household appliances, heating and ventilation, etc. This smart control increases the quality of life and living significantly, and leads to a more efficient use of energy.

                                        Smart control is based on the measurement of ambient parameters such as humidity, temperature, and air quality. Often, however, the electronic devices distort the measurement through their own heat or gas emissions so that even correct data acquisition becomes a major challenge. A customized implementation of the sensors in the respective application is crucial to obtaining precise and realistic results.

                                        • CMOSens® - Core of Sensirion's Sensor Solutions

                                        • Sensirion sensor products guarantee outstanding performance and correspondingly high customer utility. They are all based on our innovative CMOSens® Technology, which enables the sensor component to be combined with the analog and digital signal processing circuitry on a tiny CMOS silicon chip. This is implemented in advanced semiconductor technology, using specific microsystem processing steps to produce the microsensor structures on specially developed and patented semiconductor parts. The resulting sensor chips enable precise and reliable sensing of the desired physical parameters, such as relative humidity, temperature, or mass flow. CMOSens® accordingly represents a guarantee of high precision, reliability, and functionality combined with cost effectiveness.

                                          Precision and Reliability
                                          Combining the sensor with the signal processing circuitry ensures that the weak analog sensor signals can be amplified and digitized with high precision directly where they are generated, thereby making them resistant to interference. This provides the basis for the extremely high measurement accuracy of CMOSens® sensors. With the elimination of fault-prone solder joints, users also benefit from outstanding long-term stability, as has been proven by extensive field tests. Furthermore, CMOSens® Technology is based on proven and reliable standard processes used in semiconductor fabrication, which also contribute to the high reliability and reproducibility of Sensirion sensor solutions.

                                          Functionality
                                          CMOSens® chips are intelligent microsensor systems with a high degree of integration and functionality. This is provided by analog and digital signal processing, which is integrated on the semiconductor chip along with the sensor component. Our chips are further enhanced by additional intelligence for self-tests, low-power operation, and built-in linearization, digitization and temperature compensation (the latter using an integrated temperature sensor). The present high level of functionality and intelligence results from many years of development work, as can be seen from the evolutionary stages leading up to the present chip generation:

                                          1st generation: miniaturized sensor component

                                          2nd generation: 1st generation plus amplifier and A/D converter

                                          3rd generation: 2nd generation plus intelligence for linearization and temperature compensation

                                          4th generation: 3rd generation plus memory to hold calibration data

                                          Cost Effectiveness
                                          As a standard semiconductor fabrication process, CMOS is optimized for reliable mass production. Sensors fabricated in CMOSens® Technology are based on this cost-optimized standard process, which assures customers of an optimal price/performance ratio. Merging the sensor components with the signal processing circuitry on a single small chip allows system costs and package sizes to be reduced even further compared with conventional sensors. As a result, users obtain extremely high reliability and quality at a lower price.

                                          Testing & Calibration
                                          An important technical benefit for customers of Sensirion products is that our digital sensor systems are fully calibrated. This means that expensive and difficult calibration procedures no longer have to be performed by the customer. Our in-house sensor calibration and testing infrastructure allows effective testing and calibration procedures according to established quality standards. The results are high quality, fully interchangeable multi sensor modules at unbeatable price-performance ratios.

                                        • Humidity Sensors with CMOSens®

                                        • Capacitive Humidity Sensor Principle
                                          In addition to the resistive method, the capacitive measurement principle, above all, established and proved itself as a standard in the past. For this principle, the sensor element is built out of a capacitor. The dielectric is a polymer which absorbs or releases water proportional to the relative environmental humidity, and thus changes the capacitance of the capacitor. This change in capacitance can be measured by an electronic circuit. This allows the relative air humidity to be determined. For humidity sensors with CMOSens® technology, a "micro-machined" finger electrode system with different protective and polymer cover layers forms the capacitance for the sensor chip, and, in addition to providing the sensor property, simultaneously protects the sensor from interference in ways previously not achieved.

                                          Humidity, Temperature and Dew Point
                                          The temperature sensor and the humidity sensor together form a single unit. This also enables an accurate and point-precise determination of the dew point, without incurring errors due to temperature gradients between the humidity and the temperature sensors. Through the unique linkage of these sensor elements with the signal amplifier unit, the analog-to-digital converter, the calibration data memory, as well as the digital, bus-ready interface, all on a surface area of a few square millimeters.

                                          Total coverage with condensation or even immersion in liquid present no problems whatsoever. Over two years of hardness tests have already shown this result. The signal amplification near the sensor allows the polymer layers to be optimized not for the signal strengths, but rather for long-term stability, which is significant for numerous applications. The analog-to-digital conversion, which is also performed "in place," makes the signal extremely insensitive to noise. A checksum generated by the chip itself is used for additional reliability. Last but not least, the calibration data loaded on the sensor chip guarantees that Sensirion humidity sensors have identical specifications and thus they can be replaced 100%. Other obvious advantages are the very short response times (4 sec at 1/e), high precision (±2% to ±5% according to configuration), as well as very low power consumption (< 3µA standby).

                                          Digital Interface
                                          Humidity and temperature sensors with CMOSens® technology can be connected directly to any microprocessor system by means of the digital 2-wire interface, which minimizes the system development times, saves costs, and leads to a significant advantage, especially for high-volume applications.

                                        • CMOSens® in Liquid Flow Measurement

                                        • For more than 30 years, thermal mass flow measurements using coils around a steel capillary have been the standard in the precise measurement and dosing of mass flow rates.

                                          The new CMOSens® Technology integrates this basic physical measuring principle in an extremely fast, miniaturized thermal sensor with all of the high-precision signal-conditioning circuitry on a single CMOS microchip. A heating element on the microchip adds a minimal amount of heat to the medium for the thermal flow measurement. Two temperature sensors, symmetrically positioned above and below the source of the heat, detect even the slightest temperature differences, thus providing the basic information about the spread of the heat, which itself is directly related to the flow rate. Integration on a single chip ensures that the sensitive analog sensor signals can be amplified with high precision, digitalized and further processed. Semiconductor technology also allows small, battery-operated sensor modules to run very well.

                                          Digital signal processing and the stored calibration data together provide repeatability of < 0.6% of the measurement value and allow for the output of a linear, completely calibrated, temperature-compensated flow measurement signal with speeds up to 1000 values per second. As this type of sensor has a completely digital internal function, output signals may be provided as either analog or digital outputs.

                                          In addition to interesting solutions for gas applications, CMOSens® Technology allows mass flow measurements for ultra low liquid flow rates. Sensors based on this new principle are extremely fast, small, lightweight, and can be produced in large quantities. The accurate measurement of volume flow within the range of several milliliters per minute, and even down to the sub-nanoliter range, poses no problem.

                                          Just a Straight Flow Channel

                                          In the most diverse application areas, a liquid medium must be completely separated from its environment, and pressure resistance must be ensured. To this end, Sensirion has come up with a surprising solution, which has been patented in the meantime: Special packaging means the highly sensitive microsensor chip is media-isolated by the flow channels wall which can be made of glass, ceramic or plastic. The chip can measure mass flows inside the channel in nanoliters, microliters, or milliliters per minute with the greatest accuracy. The sensor for the fluid system is a simple, straight tubing without seals, dead volumes or restrictions. According to the flow range, the internal diameter can be several millimeters or micrometers. A digital sensor for liquid flow based on this new technology is already up to 100 times faster, 10 times smaller and 25 times lighter than previous conventionally designed flow meters, which means optimization potential is not exhausted and battery-operated variants are possible.
