Micro-Flow sensors

Our Micro-Flow leak testers offer a unique and superior sensor technology. In comparison to other flow meters, our sensors do not work on the principle of temperature transfer or mechanical movements. The sensors measure flow, pressure and temperature to provide an output that is directly proportional to the leak rate respective to defect size. This ensures a more stable and robust measurement of the flow rate which is also less sensitive to environmental influences such as temperature changes.
The sensors of our instruments are selected to fit your dedicated application depending on the pressure range and the flow rate you need to detect. The broad range of sensor types and sizes thereby allows our unreached sensitivity and accuracy in the field of air leak testing.

Micro-Flow sensors are used in our air-leak testing solutions.

Micro-Flow (pressure testing) e.g. for automotive applications

Mass Extraction (vacuum testing) e.g. CCIT pharmaceutical applications



General information

General sensor specification for our IGLS and IMFS sensors:

  • Temperature range for operation: 10 to 45 °C
  • Gases used: dry non-condensing and clean gases - e.g. air, nitrogen, helium, argon and carbon dioxide (please consult us for the use of other gases)
