HOW DOES THERMAL MASS FLOW

MEASUREMENT BENEFIT YOU?
■ Direct Mass Flow – No need for separate temperature or pressure transmitters
■ High Accuracy and Repeatability – Precision measurement and optimal control
of your process
■ Rangeable over 100:1 Turndown (1000:1 with multiple calibrations)
Accommodates the extremes of your process with one instrument
■ Extreme Low-End Sensitivity – Detects leaks, and measures flow, even on start-up
(measures as low as 10 SFPM)
■ Negligible Pressure Drop – Will not impede the flow nor waste energy
■ No Moving Parts – Eliminates costly bearing replacements, and prevents
undetected accuracy shifts
■ Dirt Insensitive – Rugged stainless steel sensors provide sustained performance
■ Ease of installation, and convenient mounting hardware
