Details

  • Measuring the mass flow, direct output of the Standarized volume flow
  • Highly accurate for both small and large flows
  • Pressure and temperature-compensated thanks to the thermal mass flow principle
  • Quick and easy installation via a standard ½" Ball valve
  • No moving parts, therefore Low maintenance
  • Disappearingly low pressure loss as the diameter blockage is negligible
  • 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 Measuring
  • Pressure range up to 50 bar
  • Temperature range up to 110°C
  • Protection class IP65
  • Integrated display for showing the Measured values
  • Can be used from DN15 to DN1000, larger diameters on request
  • Simple installation under pressure
  • Settings can be changed using the buttons on the Display
  • Main counter reading can be reset via the Display
  • For Velocities up to 224 Nm/s
  • Highly precise with an Accuracy of ± 1.5% or ± 1% of Measured value - and ± 0.3 % of final value
