Thermal Flow Sensor Die
The PTFD10 Thermal Flow Sensor Die measures the flow of a liquid or gaseous medium across the surface of the die using the Thermo-transfer (Calorimetric) principle. It provides the sensing core for a wide range of air flow applications such as mass air flow sensors, air mass meters for engine air-intake control, air velocity sensors, thermal differential pressure sensors.
Additionally due to its innovative, robust microstructure, PTFD10 is uniquely suited for liquid flow applications such as diesel fuel meters and disposable liquid micro-flow sensors for medical devices.
