    The flow sensor is intended to be used for the measurement of air and other non-corrosive gases in pipelines only. Consult the factory first before the measurement of wet or filthy gases. The design of the flow sensor allows for the EE772 to be installed in a pressurized system up to PN40 – is 40 bar (580 psi).

    Consequential damages are excluded from the any liability. 1.2. Environmental Aspects The products from E+E Elektronik are developed and designed in due consideration to the importance of the ® protection of the environment. Therefore, disposal of the product also should not lead to pollution of the environment.
  • Page 6: Product Description

    PRODUCT DESCRIPTION The flow sensor of the series EE772, based on the measurement principle of thermal mass flow, is suited for the measurement of flow of air and gases in pipelines. Measurement of for instance the consumption of com- pressed air, nitrogen, CO or other non-corrosive and non-flammable gases.

    3.5. Assembly of the Measurement Section In order to install or remove the gauge mounting block, the pipeline system should be depressurized. • All connections to be made with appropriated sealing material on the threads. • The sealing material should not change the area of the inner cross section of the pipe. It must be warranted that the connections after installation are free of leaks.
