The OFS-2000 has a range of 0-40m/sec and is the only flow sensor that gives a true non-contracting cross-stack flow measurement of the process.

OSi's patented Optical Flow Sensor (OFS) makes drift-free measurements across the entire stack, duct or pipe diameter and calculates an accurate average

Advantages

Advantages

  • Cross stack/duct/pipe line measurement for more accurate flow readings.
  • Measurement path 90º to stack; second plat-form not required - save $100K or more
  • Easily replaces existing ultrasonic sensors.
  • Non-interfering; nothing in flow path.
  • Easy installation and optical alignment.
  • Minimal upstream/downstream diameters; typically 2 & 1, not 20 & 10 like others.
  • Long-term reliability: no blowers or moving parts; operates unattended - 24/ 7/365.
  • Ultra-low maintenance design.
  • Rugged; designed for harsh environments.
  • Built in continuous self-test diagnostics.
  • Measurement unaffected by path length & media pressure, moisture & opacity.
  • No flow media high temperature limits.
  • Compliant with EPA 40CFR Parts 60 & 75.
  • Wide versatility, NIST tested and unbeatable combination of advanced technology, high performance and proven reliability!
