Conductivity Sensors from IST
Featured Product from Innovative Sensor Technology IST USA Division
Conductivity sensor
Innovative Sensor Technology IST AG has combined thin- and thick-film technologies to develop ceramic-based conductivity sensors that include a resistive temperature sensor (Pt1000 IEC 60751 F0.3), thus allowing for accurate compensation at the point of measurement. The conductivity sensor consists of two current electrodes and two measuring electrodes. This basic design can be adjusted to specific applications and requirements.
LFS1305
The IST AG LFS1305 conductivity sensor offers a typical cell constant of 0.86 cm-1 and a conductivity measuring range from 100 μS/cm to 200 mS/cm within an operating temperature range of -30 °C to +100 °C. However, it easily withstands temperatures over 130 °C enabling processes like sterilization by autoclaving.
The IST AG LFS1305 conductivity sensor is available with Pt/Ni wires as standard wires.
LFS1505
The IST AG LFS1505 conductivity sensor offers a typical cell constant of 0.68 cm-1 and a conductivity measuring range from 100 μS/cm to 200 mS/cm (extended range from 10 μS/cm to 200 mS/cm possible with cell-constant correction) within an operating temperature range of -30 °C to +100 °C. However, it easily withstands temperatures over 130 °C enabling processes like sterilization by autoclaving.
The IST AG LFS1505 conductivity sensor is available with either Pt/Ni wires, Cu/Ag wires or PTFE insulated AWG 30 as standard wires.
LFS1710
The IST AG LFS1710 conductivity sensor offers a typical cell constant of 0.44 cm-1 and a conductivity measuring range from 0.2 mS/cm to 200 mS/cm within an operating temperature range of -30 °C to +100 °C. However, it easily withstands temperatures over 130 °C enabling processes like sterilization by autoclaving.
The IST AG LFS1710 conductivity sensor is available with either Pt/Ni wires, Cu/Ag wires or PTFE insulated AWG 30 as standard wires.
