Product catalog summary
Product Overview
The LG16 Liquid Flow Meter series is designed for OEM applications, offering non-invasive measurement of low liquid flow rates up to 5000 µl/min. It features high chemical resistance and bio-compatibility, with a straight-thru glass capillary flow path.

Interface Options
The flow meters provide digital I²C or analog 0-5 V output options.

Sensor Performance
Performance varies by model, with flow rates ranging from 1.5 to 5000 µl/min for water and up to 10,000 µl/min for IPA. Accuracy and repeatability are specified as percentages of measured value and full scale, with additional temperature coefficients.

Communication
The sensors support both analog and digital communication, with digital versions using I²C interface. Electrical specifications include a power supply range of 4.0-12 V for digital and 6.0-12 V for analog versions.

Fluidic and Mechanical Specifications
Wetted materials include quartz glass and PEEK, with various fitting options. Pressure ratings and internal volumes are specified for each model.

Ordering Information
Models are available with either analog or digital outputs, with specific calibrations for water and IPA. Accessories such as cables are optional.

Important Notices
The document includes warnings against unauthorized use, ESD precautions, and warranty information. Compliance with REACH, RoHS, and WEEE directives is stated.

Liquid Flow Meter LG16-1

LG16 Liquid Flow Meter Series Compact Liquid Flow Meter for OEM Applications ■ Liquid flow rates up to 5000 pl/min ■ Resolutions down to sub nl/min ■ Totally non-invasive, pressures up to 200 bar ■ Digital I2C interface or analog out 0-5 V Product Summary The LG16 Liquid Flow Meter series enables fast, non-invasive measurements of very low liquid flow rates below 5 ml/min. This product line is especially suited for OEM volume applications requiring small sized components with high performance at low cost. Excellent chemical resistance and bio-compatibility are ensured: The flow path of the LG16 Liquid Flow Sensor is formed by a straight-thru glass capillary and end fittings. There are no obstacles in the flow path. Interface Options Digital Analog For more information on communication, please refer to section 3 of this document. 1 Sensor Performance Table 1: Model specific performance of LG16 (all data for medium H Corresponds with 4.8 V in analog version bFlow rate at which the sensor output saturates.
