FLOW-MON LAUNCH I-MON FLOW MONITORING SYSTEM
Flow-Mon Ltd. – a leading UK manufacturer of fluid flow monitors – has announced the launch of the i-Mon flow monitoring system. i-Mon units can be fitted to Flow-Mon’s existing range of instrumentation to measure fluid flow in pipes (between ¼”-8”) and produce 4..20mA electrical signals proportional to fluid flow.
i-Mon uses Zettlex, non-contact position sensing technology to measure flow and store the critical flow calibration data for each unit. The special high stability sensors measure over 1000 points over the full flow range and maintain repeatability ratings (<0.02%) over the full temperature range of -45 to 85 Celsius.
Nathan Smith, Flow-Mon’s Managing Director says “The idea behind i-Mon is the same idea behind the IPOD: mechanical components and systems are replaced with much more reliable and functionality rich software and electronics. This gives us much greater measurement performance and the opportunity to add value to our products.”
Initial launch units have already been shipped to USA, Italy and South Africa.
Christian Freeman, Flow-Mon’s Commercial Manager says “We’re absolutely delighted with the initial feedback from the market and what’s clear is that our customers are keen to get away from the old-fashioned potentiometer systems that are still being pushed by some other companies.”

NOTES TO EDITORS:- Zettlex is a sensors company.Our non-contact position sensors measure accurately & reliably even in harsh conditions - hence our motto - 'Precision in the Extreme'. We
- Design & make position sensors
- Supply sensor components - notably integrated circuits for inductive position sensors
- Develop non-contact sensing solutions to customer requirements.
Unique technology and laminar, printed construction enables inductive sensors with no contacts, no bearings, no delicate parts, no maintenance, no bother.....just accurate measurements - all day, every day.
We sell our sensors to OEMs and system integrators in a range of sectors. About half of our business is for safety related or safety critical control systems and we are familiar with the demanding requirements of industrial, aerospace, defence, oil & gas sectors. We can supply fully documented and qualified sensing solutions to DO-254 and DO-178.
Applications include position measurement, user interfaces, servo controls & motor encoders. This covers linear transducers and rotary encoders as well as measurement of 2D displacement, 3D displacement, multi-turn angle, tilt, weight, pressure, vibration, strain and flow.
Zettlex inductive position sensors are an economical, lightweight and robust alternative to potentiometers, optical encoders, rotary encoders, resolvers, RVDTs, LVDTs, magnetic sensors and capacitive encoders.
Zettlex is ISO 9001 and BS EN 13980 certified for the manufacture of position sensors including intrinsically safe ATEX transmitters and position feedback controls for potentially explosive environments.
