2 Application Range

The SCHMIDT®Flow sensor SS 20.400 (article number: 518210) is de-

signed for stationary use in clean rooms, air ducts or air shafts under at-

mospheric pressure conditions and clean environmental conditions.

The sensor measures flow velocity of the measuring medium as standard

velocity

wN(unit: m/s) relative to standard pressure of 1,013.25 hPa and

standard temperature of 20 °C. The output signal is linear and independ-

ent of pressure and temperature of the medium.

Optionally the sensor is able to measure both directions (see chapter 5).

The decisive characteristics of the product are listed below:

Measuring task

oMeasurement of flow velocity

oDetection of flow direction (bidirectional version)

Application examples

oLaminar-flow monitoring in cleanrooms

oMonitoring of room cross-flow

oCooling air monitoring

oFlow measurement in test benches

Only suitable for use in clean gases.

In particular, the medium to be measured must not contain oils,

residue forming substances or abrasive particles.

When transporting the sensor or when carrying out not approved

cleaning measures, always place the protective cap on the sen-

sor.

The SCHMIDT®Flow sensor SS 20.400 is designed for applica-

tions inside closed rooms and is not suitable for outdoor use.

Corresponds to the actual velocity under standard conditions.

Table 1

All mounting fixtures fasten the sensor by means of frictional clamping on

the sensor tube. This enables stepless positioning of the sensor in the

holder both axially in direction of the longitudinal sensor axis (immersion

depth) as well as in rotational direction around the same axis (tilting).

The angle of tilt

to flow direction should not exceed ±5° in order to

avoid significant measuring errors (> 1 %).

Commercially available welding stud (not included in delivery) must be welded.

Countersunk head, not included in the delivery.

Deviation between measuring direction of sensor head and flow direction.

In inhomogeneous, laminar flow fields (e.g. a quasi-parabolic speed

profile in a tube), the sensor tip should be positioned at the place at

which the highest speed occurs (adjustment of the immersion depth

see Figure 3-1) since this point has normally the largest distance to

interfering elements such as boundary surfaces.

If correctly mounted, both the compression fitting and the wall mounting

flange are tight up to a gauge pressure of 500 mbar

The customer himself must ensure that the sensor is protected

against an unintentional pressing out caused by the overpres-

sure.

Tube-related flow

Installation in a flow guiding tube is carried out by means of a compression

fitting (532160, see Figure 3-1):

Screw the threaded part of the compression fitting into the pipe union

(hexagon AF 27). Unscrew the spigot nut (AF17) to such an extent that

the sensor can be inserted without jamming.

Introduce sensor into the compression fitting until its tip is located in

the middle of the tube. Then tighten the spigot nut slightly using the

fork wrench AF17 to fix the sensor.

Align sensor to nominal flow direction (direction of arrow) considering

that immersion depth must be maintained.

The angular deviation should not be greater than 5° refer-

enced to the ideal direction of the gaseous flow. Otherwise

measurement accuracy may be affected (deviation > 1 %).

Tighten spigot nut by turning the fork wrench (AF17) by a quarter while

maintaining the sensor in position.

Figure 3-1

The screw-in thread of the compression fitting must be sealed, e.g. with a teflon tape.

To reach the accuracy specified in its data sheets, the SS 20.400 has to

be positioned in a straight conduit and at a place with undisturbed flow

profile. An undisturbed flow profile can be achieved if a sufficiently long

distance in front of the sensor (run-in distance) and behind the sensor

(run-out distance) is held absolutely straight and without disturbances

(such as edges, seams, bends, etc.).

Correct measurements require laminar6flow with as low turbu-

lence as possible.

The design of the run-out distance is also important, since disturbances

do not only act in direction of the air flow but also lead to turbulences

opposite to flow direction.

= Length of whole measuring distance

= Length of run-in distance

= Length of run-out distance

= Inner diameter of measuring distance

Figure 3-2

The following Table 2 shows the required straight conduit lengths depend-

ing on tube diameter and different disturbances.

This table lists the minimum values required in each case. If the listed

straight conduit lengths cannot be achieved, measurement accuracy may

be impaired or additional actions are required like the use of flow rectifi-

ers

Here the term “laminar” means an air flow low in turbulence (not according to its physical

definition saying that the Reynolds number is < 2300).

E. g. honeycombs made of plastics or ceramics; profile factor may change therefore.

Wall mounting

The wall mounting flange (520181) is designed for installation of the sen-

sor SS 20.400 as an immersion sensor through a wall (e.g. wall of a flow

box). The threaded bush included in the delivery has a base provided with

a plane contact surface and two holes which allow a fast and easy instal-

lation by means of two screws.

All advantages, requirements and installation instructions regarding the

stepless sensor installation are applicable for the compression fitting (see

subchapter: Tube-related flow).

Mounting for measuring room-to-room overflow

A room-to-room overflow sensor is fixed by means of a wall mounting

bracket (503895 made of anodized aluminium or 551740 made of stain-

less steel). The sensor should be placed in flow direction behind the wall

opening, whereas the sensor tip must be located in the middle of the open-

ing (see Figure 3-3 for exemplary use of 503895).

Figure 3-3

The application of a SS 20.400 with bidirectional measurement

capability allows the detection of backflow and is therefore able

to signalize critical operating conditions.
