Mass Flow Meter for All Clean Gases
Item# (PN): FMA3000_serie Shipping and Payment

For Flow Rates From 2 ml/min Up To 100 l/min. 0-5 Vdc Linear Output. Optionally with LCD display. Cost Effective. Suitable for many OEM and laboratory applications. More
FMA3100 series mass flow sensors represent a breakthrough in mass flow sensor technology. State-of-the-art electronics, a compact mechanical design, and mass production tooling concepts are combined into one high-performance, cost effective product. The gas flow sensor is suitable for many OEM applications. A 0 to 5 Vdc linear output is standard.
FMA3300 series combine the features of the FMA3100 with an adjustable 3½ digit LCD digital display meter for viewing flow rate in engineering units (i.e., mL/min or L/min). These compact flowmeters have proved effective in many laboratory applications.

What is a mass flow meter and how does it work?
A thermal mass flow meter measures the flow rate of gas mass based on the convective heat transfer of a heated surface to the flowing fluid. The components of a basic thermal mass flow meter include two temperature sensors with an electric heater between them. The heater can protrude into the fluid stream or can be external to the pipe.
In the past, mass flow was often calculated from the outputs of a volumetric flow meter and a densitometer. Density was either directly measured, or was calculated using the outputs of process temperature and pressure transmitters...
