E40096 Screw-in Adapter by ifm
Meet the E40096 from ifm. It is a screw-in adapter for flow and temperature sensors. Use it to mount sensors in tanks or pipes. The type code is ADAPTER SI1/G1/2/VA. It is a passive part with no electronics. That means no power and no signal wires. It is built for industrial use with liquids and gases. The body is stainless steel 1.4404 / 316L. So it handles tough process lines.

- SID, SFD and TN sensor families
- Food, water, chemical and machine building lines
- High-pressure loops up to 100 bar with a correct adapter above 30 bar
FAQ
Q: Which sensors does this adapter hold?
A: It fits sensors with an M18 x 1.5 male thread. The listed depth of 21 mm suits SID, SFD and TN types.
Q: Can I mount it in a thin pipe wall?
A: The G 1/2 thread needs a solid boss. A thin wall may not hold 50 Nm. Weld a boss first, then screw the part in.
Q: What seal should I use for drinking water?
A: The stock ring is NBR. It is not ideal for drinking water. Fit a seal that meets your local water rules.
Q: How do I read the 100 bar rating?
A: The part is rated to 100 bar (10 MPa). Above 30 bar, ifm asks for a high-pressure adapter. Check the whole joint, not just this part.
Q: Do I need to wire anything?
A: No. This is a passive steel part. It has no wires and no electronics. Just screw it in and fit the sensor.
Q: What do service techs watch out for?
A: Most problems come from over-torque and the wrong seal. Use a torque wrench set to 50 Nm. Also match the seal to the medium before you start.
