FD-Q10C Keyence Sensor Clamp-On Flow Sensor

The Keyence FD-Q10C is a clamp-on ultrasonic flow sensor engineered for non-intrusive liquid flow detection in harsh industrial environments. Designed for metal or resin pipes between ø13 and ø18 mm, this sensor measures flow rates up to 30 L/min without breaking the pipe, using a high-accuracy ultrasonic detection method. With dual analog and digital I/O, selectable response times, and IP65/IP67 protection, it is ideal for process automation, chemical handling, and utility management.
