PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
KEYENCE CORP FD-XS1 - Clamp-on Liquid Flow Sensor
The KEYENCE FD-XS1 is a non-invasive, clamp-on ultrasonic flow sensor engineered for precise liquid flow measurement in industrial process control applications. Utilizing transit-time ultrasonic technology, this sensor provides real-time flow rate and totalization data without requiring pipe modification or process interruption. It integrates seamlessly into automated systems for monitoring cooling lines, chemical dosing, and fluid dispensing.
