Sensirion's-SFC6000D-And-SFM6000D-Are-Available-At-Symmetry-Electronics

Based in Switzerland, Sensirion is an industry-leading provider of sensor solutions with applications in medical, industrial/logistics, HVAC systems and appliances, consumer, mobility, and more. Specializing in sustainability and ecological responsibility, many Sensirion products assist in the development of energy-efficient, smart solutions. Boasting an eight-week lead time, Sensirion’s SFC6000D Mass Flow Controller and SFM6000D Flow Meter are ideal components to measure gas flow with ultra-fast accuracy.

Based on the thermal mass principle, the SFC6000D and the SFM6000D both incorporate Sensirion’s next generation CMOSens® MEMS technology. Sensirion mass flow controllers and flow meters are known for their significant speed and accuracy. Unlike other devices on the market, the the SFC6000D and the SFM6000D do not require in-service re-calibration.

Sensirion’s SFC6000D Mass Flow Controller

The small, light, and compact advantages (Figure 1) of the SFC6000D Mass Flow Controller from Sensirion enable development of portable devices or devices with size and weight restrictions. With the industry’s best price-performance ratio, the SFC6000D features best-in-class performance and speed.

Sensirion’s SFM6000D Flow Meter

The SFM6000D Mass Flow Meter is the valve-less sister variant of the SFC6000 that offers the same performance at an even more accessible price point. The SFM6000D is also small, light, and compact (Figure 2) and is an ideal solution for the development of portable devices.
