FLOW SENSORSThe Innovative Sensor Technology IST AG thin film mass flow sensors offer solutions for a wide variety of flow applications. The thin film and membrane technologies incorporate highly accurate temperature sensors and heaters as core elements on the sensors. The sensors are applicable in gas (operating temperature range of -20 °C to +400 °C) and liquid (operating temperature range of -50 °C to +180 °C) and can measure flow rates and direction from 0 m/s to 100 m/s.
IST AG develops and manufactures thermal flow sensors and offers three different solutions for measuring flow rates in gas and liquid applications. The standard solutions are optimal for various flow applications but can be fitted to meet customer specific requirements. For standard flow sensors, electronics for the evaluation are offered.
HUMIDITY SENSORS & MODULES
Innovative Sensor Technology IST AG offers a broad range of capacitive humidity sensors as well as fully calibrated humidity and temperature modules. With many years of experience, IST AG also offers development of customer specific applications in terms of technology development and consultation. As part of the standard development process, IST AG offers support at the point of implementation - this way we ensure the best solution for specific applications.
RealProbeTemp (RPT)
The RealProbeTemp is a pre-assembled stainless steel probe for the simplified manufacturing of temperature probes. The RPT provides an outstanding response time. The construction of the RealProbeTemp allows a minimized immersion depth (e.g. liquids at a depth of 10 mm or in some cases slightly less). Therefore it is an optimal solution in applications with limited space and pipe diameter.
Especially for applications where reduced space and large temperature gradients between surroundings and the measurement medium poses a challenge, the RealProbeTemp is the ideal solution for an accurate measurement.The RealProbeTemp can act as a standalone probe assembly or as a sub-assembly inserted to minimize the fabrication process and materials of larger or more complex probe assemblies. This results in reduced manufacturing costs and enhanced performance of the finished assembly.

Innovative Sensor Technology IST AG offers biosensors designed to measure the concentration of glucose, lactate, glutamine and glutamate in aqueous media. The biosensors use the enzymatic-amperometr
IST AG offers extended and directly welded insulated enameled Cu-wire, which enables easy soldering into applications. The insulation is additionally removed and pre-tinned at the end of the wire to enable easy soldering. Due to the small diameter of the enameled Cu-wire (Ø 0.2 mm), the sensor is offered with extremely small dimensions; as low as 0.8 mm x 3 mm or 1.2 mm x 1.6 mm and with extended directly welded wires. Enameled Cu-wires are used in applications up to +150 °C, short-term excessive temperatures up to +180 °C are definitely possible.
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.
With many years of experience, IST AG also offers development of customer specific applications in terms of technology development and consultation. As part of the standard development process, IST AG offers support at the point of implementation - this way we ensure the best solution for specific applications.
The IST AG platinum RTD temperature sensors are developed with the highest quality materials and cover a wide operating temperature range of -200 °C to +1000 °C. The sensors can operate in the harshest conditions while experiencing minimal drift. The construction is extremely robust and due to the small dimensions, the sensors are offered in various housings. The platinum temperature sensors are available with a standard TCR of 3850 ppm/K and with accuracies according to the IEC 60751 norm.
IST AG also offers custom RTD platinum sensors fitted to application-specific
