Omron extends air/gas flow sensor range

The new Omron D6F-V is less than half the size of the existing D6F-W, and is also available at typically half the cost. D6F-V has dimensions of 24 x 14 x 8mm and is specified to handle air velocities from 0 to 3m/s. Omron will continue to offer the D6F-W, however, which is available in versions designed for 0 – 1 m/s and 0 – 4 m/s, and also features a temperature compensation circuit to improve performance over a wide range of ambient temperatures. The D6F-W has dimensions of 39 x 20 x 9mm and an accuracy of +/-5% full-scale deflection.

Omron's D6F-W and D6F-V MEMS-based sensors both incorporate a patent pending dust segregation system (DSS) that separates up to 99.5% (simulation test result) of dry air borne particulates normally encountered in both domestic and commercial environments to ensure an extremely stable measurement characteristic over the product life time. They are an ideal alternative to single point Pitot tubes and thermal dispersion sensors in heating ducts and building/ environmental management systems.

Each is supplied as standard, optimally adjusted at the factory so easy and rapid user application is guaranteed.
