Thermal Mass Flow Meters

Sage Heavy Industrial Usage

Overview

Flow Meter is thermal dispersion type, utilizing constant temperature difference method of measuring Gas Mass Flow Rate. It contains two reference grade platinum RTD sensors clad in a protective 316 SS sheath. Features direct Mass Flow for gases, wide rangeability, low pressure drop, very low end sensitivity, and no moving parts.

Flow Meter is microprocessor based, does not have any potentiometers, and has RS232 communications with accompanying menu driven software (Sage VIP). Flow Meter is powered by 24 VDC or 115 VAC/ 230 VAC. The power dissipation is under 6 watts (e.g. under 250 ma at 24 VDC).

Electronics is with Explosion Proof, Class 1, Div 1, Groups B, C, D, NEMA 4X Windowed Enclosure, Local Display and Keypad. The Display is a back-lit LCD with two lines of information: Mass Flow Rate on top line; and Totalized Flow and Temperature on bottom line. The Keypad has 4-buttons and provides a convenient means to interface with an extensive menuing system. The electronics has a 4 to 20 ma output proportional to Mass Flow Rate or the output can be factory or field configured to Temperature. Output is opto-isolated. In addition, one dry contact relay is provided that can be configured for pulsed outputs of Totalized Flow, or Trip High, Trip Low, and other functions.
