Detection Technology Only Available from KEYENCE

ELECTROMAGNETISM + ELECTROSTATIC CAPACITANCE METHOD FD-M

This method performs detections by way of electrostatic capacitance, Using Faraday’s law to perform detection
which makes a free flowing structure possible. A typical electromagnetic flow sensor employs electrodes, wetted
within the pipe, to detect the electromotive force of the liquid.
The FD-M Series determines this value from outside the pipe by
Coil means of electrostatic capacitance.

This method uses ultrasonic waves, which makes joint-less structures Hybrid detection using eddies and ultrasonic
possible. waves
The detection method employs eddies and ultrasonic waves.
To detect eddies, this method uses ultrasonic waves instead of
piezoelectric effect elements, which are easily influenced by
vibrations. The result is stable flow detections with high accuracy.

CORIOLIS METHOD FD-S

This method can be used to detect the flows of all kinds of liquids. Using the Coriolis method to perform detection
The flow causes the Coriolis force to be generated at the entrance
and exit of the flow pipe, which causes the twist angle θ to be
generated due to resistance against the pipe vibrations. This angle is
read with electrical signals and is converted to the flow.

manner as it is used within the rated flow range. *4 A flow less than or equal to the minimum flow is displayed as 0 L/min. *5 When 0.05 L/min. is selected, the instantaneous flow is displayed in increments of 0.05 for values between 0.15 and 0.5 L/min. and in increments of

use the rated flow range for the F.S. value. The repeatability for the FD-M5AT(P)/Y(P) is ±7.5% of F.S. at a response time of 0.5 s and ±5% of F.S. at a response time of 1 s. The repeatability for the FD-M10AT(P)/Y(P) in the range of 20 to 30 L/min. is twice that of the values listed

used in general. *5 This can be used within the display range in the same manner as it is used within the rated flow range. *6 A flow less than or equal to the minimum flow is displayed as 0 L/min. *7 The repeatability indicates the calculation error in the detections performed
with repeated flows under fixed conditions. When performing conversions using F.S. (full scale), use the rated flow range for the F.S. value. *8 The maximum alarm output is 20 mA. When using a total of 6 to 10 units in an expanded system, ensure that each output current is

*1 Values that are within a range that is twice that of the rated flow range are possible. The range given here is the range when the fluid has a density of 1.00 g/cm 3. If the density exceeds 1.0 g/cm 3, values can be displayed up to a limit of the rated flow range × 2/the density.
If the density is lower than 1.0, values can be displayed up to a limit of the rated flow range x 2. There are no changes to the rated flow range when using focus mode, but the flow display range becomes 0 to 400 mL/min. for the FD-SS2A and 0 to 4000 mL/min. for the FD-SS2A.
*2 When the density is less than or equal to the minimum density, the flow is displayed as 0 L/min. The minimum density is reflected in the accumulated flow.
When using focus mode, the initial value of the minimum flow is 10 mL/min. for the FD-SS2A and 100 mL/min. for the FD-SS20A.
*3 A flow less than or equal to the minimum flow is displayed as 0 L/min. The minimum value is reflected in the accumulated flow. *4 For details, see the characteristic diagrams.
*5 The accuracy is regulated according to the calculation error accumulated over 30 seconds using room-temperature water (at approximately 25°C) and adjustment equipment at the time of product shipment.
There may be large differences between this value and the actual value experienced due to the used fluid, the presence of bubbles in the fluid, vibrations, and the cleanliness of the piping being used to perform detections. The following reference value is added into the
linearity and zero point stability fluctuations that arise due to the temperature characteristic.
(±0.02% of Rdg/°C [linearity]) + (±0.1 of F.S./°C [zero point stability]) F.S. (full scale) indicates the rated flow and Rdg (reading) indicates the display of the instantaneous flow.
The accuracy when using focus mode is the same as the accuracy during normal operation. When using focus mode, F.S. is also 2000 mL/min. for the FD-SS2A and 20 L/min. for the FD-SS20A.

*1 Values that are within a range that is twice that of the rated flow range can be displayed. There are no changes to the rated flow range when using focus mode, but the flow display range becomes 0 to 400 mL/min. for the FD-SF1 and 0 to 4000 mL/min. for the FD-SF8.
*2 When the density is less than or equal to the minimum density, the flow is displayed as 0 L/min. The minimum density is reflected in the accumulated flow.
*3 A flow less than or equal to the minimum flow is displayed as 0 L/min. The minimum value is reflected in the accumulated flow. When using focus mode, the initial value of the minimum flow is 10.0 mL/min. for the FD-SF1 and 100 mL/min. for the FD-SF8.
*4 For this value at a temperature of 25°C or higher, see the derating straight line. Ensure that pressure fluctuations caused by water hammers and similar phenomena are also within the operating pressure range.
*5 When using focus mode, the instantaneous flow display range becomes 0 to 400 mL/min. for the FD-SF1 and 0 to 4000 mL/min. for the FD-SF8.
*6 F.S. (full scale) indicates the rated flow and Rdg indicates the display of the instantaneous flow. The accuracy is regulated according to the calculation error accumulated over 30 seconds using water at 25°C and adjustment equipment at the time of product shipment.
The accuracy when using focus mode is the same as the accuracy during normal operation. When using focus mode, F.S. is also 1 L/min. for the FD-SF1 and 8 L/min. for the FD-SF8.
*7 This can be cancelled by way of periodic zero point adjustments.
* When using multiple sensor units together, install the sensor units at the separately determined interval.

The optimum mode can be selected to match the application of the sensor. The sensor is standard-equipped with two output modes: “Free range analogue”, which
can be used to set the desired analogue output range to use to an arbitrary value, and
“Accumulated pulse output”. This function enables the sensor to support a wide range of
