Details

  • Measurement of mass flow direct output of standard volume flow 
  • Highly accurate at small as well as higher flow rates
  • Pressure and temperature compensated by the thermal mass flow principle  
  • Quick and easy installation via a ½" ball valve
  • No moving parts, thus low maintenance
  • Vanishingly low pressure drop due to vanishingly low blockage of the diameter
  • Can be used for compressed air and non-corrosive gases such as nitrogen, oxygen, argon, helium, etc.
  • 04...20 mA, pulse and a Modbus RTU (RS 485) interface as standard.
  • Optional: Interfaces such as Modbus TCP (Ethernet), PoE, M-Bus
  • Optional: Bi-directional measurement 
  • Pressure tight up to 50 bar 
  • Temperature range up to 110°C
  • Protection class IP65
  • Integrated display for showing the measured values 
  • Can be used from 1/2" up to 40", larger diameters on request 
  • Easy installation under pressure
  • Settings can be changed via the display
  • Main counter reading can be reset via the display 
  • Suitable for gas velocities up to 224 Nm/s
  • Highly precise with an accuracy of ± 1.5% or ± 1% of the measured value ± 0.3% of the final value
