Flow sensor IMF for heat

and cold measurement
for nominal flows of qp 3.5 to 10 m3/h
as standard in metrological class 2 in accordance with DIN EN 1434-1

ZENNER offers a complete series for horizontal and

vertical installation positions with the type IMP flow
sensors. The flow sensors can be operated in a tem-
perature range from 5 to 120 °C and are therefore suit-
able for a wide range of applications from multi-family
houses to district heating measuring points.

All versions have an MID type examination certificate

and/or a type examination certificate for cold meters
in Germany and conformity assessment in metrologi-
cal class 2. So they fulfil the requirements of technical
guideline K9 of PTB for measuring points with nominal
sizes > qp 6.

The connection and construction dimensions corre-

spond to DIN EN 1434-2 and DIN EN ISO 4064. Further-
more flange versions are available with flange dimen-
sions corresponding to DIN EN 1092.

Product characteristics
■■ As standard for metrological class 2, fulfils the
requirement of technical guideline 9 of PTB
■■ Permitted temperature range: 5... 120 °C
■■ Suitable for water glycol heat carriers
(without conformity assessment)
■■ Downpipe and riser pipe versions also available in the
special short overall lengths 135 mm (for qp 3.5 and 6)
and 150 mm (for qp 10)
■■ Flange versions as standard in pressure stage PN 25
■■ Optimal for combination with the heat meter
