Name: Festo 538417 Flow sensor MS6-SFE-F5-AGD-P2I-M12
Brand: Festo

Flow sensor MS6-SFE-F5-AGD-P2I-M12

The Festo part number 538417 is an industrial component utilizing a thermal heat loss measuring principle to monitor flow rate and consumption in a unidirectional P1 to P2 flow direction. It features a flow rate measuring range of 200 to 5,000 l/min, a working pressure range of 0 to 16 bar, and operates with air quality class 5:4:3 as per DIN ISO 8573-1 or nitrogen across an ambient and medium temperature range of 0 to 50 °C. The unit includes dual PNP switch outputs supporting window comparator and threshold functions with variable hysteresis, delivering a measurement accuracy of plus or minus (3 percent o.m.v. plus 0.3 percent FS).

Engineering context

Identification and RFQ Guidance

Confirm the exact configuration

Use the manufacturer part number and model code—not appearance alone. Connection, size, material, voltage, pressure, seal, and control options can differ within the same product family.

What to include in your RFQ

Provide quantity, delivery country and ZIP/postal code, required condition, target date, and photographs of the existing nameplate when available.
