FD-Q50C Keyence Clamp-On Flow Sensor

The Keyence FD-Q50C is a clamp-on ultrasonic flow sensor purpose-built for non-intrusive, high-flow liquid measurement on large pipe sizes. Compatible with 1½″ and 2″ metal or resin pipes, it supports flow rates up to 500 L/min and offers dual analog/digital output, selectable response times, and robust IP65/IP67 environmental protection. Ideal for fluid management across process industries, chemical lines, and water systems.
