Always in flow for you

Since 1901, SIKA have been developing and producing high-quality solutions in the field of industrial measurement and calibration technology in Germany. They have been offering a wide range of standardized and customized products for conducting temperature, pressure and flow measurements for over 120 years. Their product range encompasses everything from classic industrial thermometers to turbine flow sensors and high-precision temperature calibrators.

Flow & Level

Flow and level measurement are incredibly important for a number of reasons: process reliability, consistent product quality, environmental protection – to name just a few.

A large number of different measuring principles are available for this purpose, such as impeller sensors in turbines, magnetic inductive, vortex, oval gear, gearwheel or electronic flow sensors.

SIKA are your partners in flow measurement technology.

Flow Switches

The comprehensive modular principle of SIKA flow switches offers you the optimum flow switch for your system or process. Depending on the load, you can select the right flow switch for your application from a variety of high-quality metal or cost-optimised plastic designs.

Vortex Flow Sensors

SIKA Vortex flow sensors are subject to almost no mechanical wear due to their principle. Made of sturdy, glass-fibre reinforced plastic or in the robust metal version: SIKA Vortex flow sensors impress with their wide measuring span, high interference resistance, durability and excellent price/performance ratio.

Magnetic Inductive Flow Sensors

Magnetic-inductive flow sensors have proven themselves for many years in a variety of different applications. Whether robust industrial version or cost-optimised OEM version: SIKA MIDs are fast-responding, are not subject to mechanical wear and are very flexible in installation.

Turbine flow sensors

Turbine flow sensors are used for volume flow measurement or for dosing tasks with water and water mixtures. Due to their particularly compact design, their very wide measuring range and their convincing measuring accuracy, there are almost unlimited application possibilities.

Positive Displacement Flow Sensors

The high-precision positive displacement flow sensors work according to the displacement principle. The high resolution combined with reliable measuring accuracy make the transducers particularly interesting for applications measuring small and very small volumes.

Oval Gear Flow Meter

SIKA oval gear flow meters are displacement volume meters for measuring low-viscosity media. The robust housings are made of stainless steel or aluminium and are also available as high-temperature versions up to 125°C.

Calorimetric Flow Monitors

With the VE calorimetric flow monitor, liquid media can be monitored for falling below a predefined flow rate. This can be adapted to the conditions on site. It is also characterised by its robust design, uncomplicated operation and high reliability.

Flow Limiter

SIKA flow limiters were developed to keep the flow of water-like media constant at a certain value. They ensure that this flow rate value is kept constant or not exceeded even with fluctuating pressures.

Level Switches

The SIKA level switches are the simple and reliable solution for monitoring liquid levels. The proven float principle and a potential-free contact as a signal transmitter offer high functional reliability.
