Industrial clamp-on flow sensor
The Keyence FD-Q10C is a non-invasive flow sensor designed for process engineers who need to monitor liquid flow without cutting pipework. It clamps onto the outside of a pipe and measures flow rates with a display resolution selectable between 0.01, 0.1 and 1 L/min. The unit suits water-treatment, cooling-loop and general industrial applications where fluid contamination must be avoided.
Fits existing piping with IP65/IP67 sealing
Because the sensor mounts externally, it requires no process shutdown, welding or flange work during installation. The PPS, PES, PBT and stainless-steel wetted materials resist corrosion across a supported fluid temperature range of 0 to 85 °C. An enclosure rated IP65 and IP67 to IEC 60529 protects the electronics from dust and water jets in wash-down environments.
Replaces invasive turbine or mag-meter inserts
The clamp-on design eliminates pressure drop and leak paths associated with in-line sensors, making the jump worthwhile when system uptime or fluid purity are priorities. Response time is selectable from 0.5 s to 60 s, with repeatability tightening from ±2.0 % at the fastest setting to ±0.35 % at 10 s. It is not suited for gases, slurries or pipes where ultrasonic coupling cannot be achieved.

Questions about this item
What is the fastest response time the FD-Q10C can be set to for detecting flow changes?
The sensor offers selectable response times of 0.5 s, 1.0 s, 2.5 s, 5 s, 10 s, 30 s and 60 s, with the quickest setting at 0.5 seconds.
How much heat can the clamp-on sensor handle on the pipe surface during continuous operation?
It supports fluid temperatures from 0 to 85 °C provided there is no freezing on the pipe surface, and the ambient range is -10 to +60 °C.
What pipe material specifications must already be in place for the FD-Q10C to mount correctly?
The sensor main unit uses PPS, PES, PBT, SUS303, SUS304 and SUSXM7 construction, so the pipe must be compatible with these clamp materials.
