Measuring gas flow in applications requiring high precision and cost-efficiency is a challenge. Experience in recent years has shown that microthermal flow sensors are superior to other technologies. Industries with exacting demands, such as automotive and medical technology, have recognised that microthermal gas flow sensors give their products decisive advantages.

Designed for a variety of applications, Sensirion has introduced a new digital temperature sensor – the STS3x. The new STS3x temperature sensor is based on the same chip as the SHT3x humidity sensors and comes in a tiny eight-pin DFN package measuring only 2.5 × 2.5mm2 with a height of 0.9mm. The sensor delivers accuracy of +/-0.3°C over an extensive temperature range combined with low power consumption - an especially important c...

Sensirion will be exhibiting at the COMPAMED 2015 trade fair, presenting its autoclavable mass flow meters, the SFM3200-AW and the SFM3300-AW, for the first time. The autoclavable and washable sensors boast high precision and robustness. They are suitable for measuring respiratory flows in medical applications such as artificial ventilation or anesthesia.

At this year's COMPAMED trade fair, Sensirion will present its latest enhanced sensor solutions for measuring humidity and temperature, gas flow, liquid flow and differential pressure. The company will introduce two mass flow meters: the SFM3200-AW and SFM3300-AW. Both products are suitable for repeated, inter-patient use thanks to their multi-cycle, autoclavable and washable properties which allow them to be sterilised.

A comprehensive study recently published by Germany's Gas- & Wärme-Institute (GWI) confirmed the practical functionality of Sensirion's technology. The company's microthermal gas meter modules are equipped with integrated gas recognition. The compensation software guarantees precise flow measurement despite the differing qualities of natural gas. Independently of pressure and temperature, the mass flow meters provide reliable measurement...

Sensirion has announced two new versions of the SGM70xx mass flow meter modules for G4 and G6 gas meters. These microthermal gas meter modules enable real-time gas flow monitoring and come with the additional advantages of high-level reliability and long-term stability. Onboard software in the mass flow meters guarantees precise gas quality compensation.

A liquid flow sensor, which delivers fast and precise measurements for flow rates of 0 to 40ml/min, has been released by Sensirion. Offered in a robust housing, the SLS-1500 provides a versatile sensor solution for applications in demanding industrial environments and laboratory settings. The company’s modular approach of combining the sensor and interface cable ensures an optimum match with rapid results and makes the integration of a flow...

From Hall 5, Booth 5D70 at the 2015 Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Sensirion will present a multi-pixel gas sensor, plus a barometric pressure sensor, both of which rank among the smallest yet most accurate in their class worldwide. The sensors are capable of measuring Indoor Air Quality (IAQ), the gases in a person’s breath and barometric air pressure, as required for indoor navigation applications.

Sensirion has partnered with GoldCard, a leading manufacturer of gas meters in China, to develop an intelligent gas meter for residential and industrial application in the Chinese market. By adapting Sensirion’s SGM70xx mass flow metering module to the conditions and standards of the Chinese market, the companies will develop a microthermal gas meter.

At this year's MD&M West trade fair, Sensirion will present its range of sensors for measuring gas, liquid flow and differential pressure. With the goal of separating the core sensing element from other complex electronics, Sensirion has developed a two-piece, click-in redesign of the disposable liquid flow sensor LD20-2000T, which improves cost-efficiency while retaining performance on a compact footprint.

Sensirion has extended its expertise in the smart energy market to make gas boilers more comfortable and environmentally sound. The company's completely calibrated and temperature compensated sensors and sensor solutions enable precise and reliable measurement of the air mass to a combustion chamber.

Mouser Electronics has signed a global distribution agreement with Sensirion, a supplier of high-quality sensor and microsensor components and evaluation kits. The Sensirion product line includes MEMS-based humidity and temperature sensors, pressure sensors, and mass flow sensors developed for a wide variety of applications.

Sensor manufacturer Sensirion has sealed a global sales agreement with Future Electronics. “We are very excited to have found a partner that is globally active and can offer our customers optimal support on-site,” says Christian Constantin, Distribution Channel Manager at Sensirion. “With Future Electronics, our customers will receive quick consultation and top-flight technical expertise, even in regions where we do not have our...

Sensirion is offering new disposable liquid flow sensor solutions for medical devices. The use of intelligent, compact and cost-effective disposable liquid flow sensors will change the field of drug delivery from the ground up and enable solutions to be provided which are safer, more reliable and more mobile for care in the hospital and at home.

After integrating a humidity and temperature sensor within a smartphone, Sensirion claims to have become the first company in the world to integrate IoT technology and implementation within a single source. The company's primary focus was not only on the development and production of the humidity and temperature sensor, but also on the implementation and integration of the sensor.

At Sensor+Test 2014, June 3-5 in Nürnberg, Sensirion will present its latest temperature sensor, the STSC1. Combining high measurement accuracy with an extremely attractive price-performance ratio, this latest generation of temperature sensors features high accuracy, low power consumption and minimal size.

A liquid flow sensor, from Sensirion AG, is bound for the International Space Station (ISS) on May 6th 2014. The sensor is part of a research project by Minnehaha Academy in Minnesota that is investigating the impact of microgravity on the effectiveness of liquid flow. Among other potential findings, the project aims to shed light on the effects of weightlessness on the circulatory system.

Suitable for a variety of medical and biomedical applications, the LPP10 and LPG10 liquid flow sensors have been announced by Sensirion. With a tiny 10x10mm footprint and no moving parts or obstacles in the flow path of the fluid, the flow sensors are available with a glass (LPG10) or a plastic (LPP10) packaging.
