Thermal Mass Flowmeters
Our Design
We separate the heated, flow-sensing element from the temperature-sensing reference element and place them in two probes that enter a pipe through small drilled holes. The probes are mounted in one or two rings, and the rings clamp around and seal to the pipe. Installation consists of drilling two holes, using a drill guide, and clamping the meter in place. Each meter is designed and calibrated for a specific type and size of pipe, so no adjustment or configuration is required during installation. The meters have large, bright LED displays, milliamp and pulse outputs, and an optional wired serial output for networking.
Recommended Placement
Flow metering is useful and cost-effective at a range of locations in the typical compressed-air system. At the plant-wide level, it assesses compressor-room performance and plant-wide air-use efficiency and leakage. At the department level, it assigns responsibility for air usage and gives credit for progress in reducing air usage. At the point of use, it pinpoints leakage and inefficiency. Leading companies in several industries have found it cost-effective to install dozens or hundreds of meters at individual pieces of equipment and use them to determine where maintenance is required.
Flowmeter Options and Modifications
We can easily modify our standard flowmeters to accommodate various units of measure, various display features, wired communication, high-pressure applications, and calibration adjustments for non-standard piping or tubing. You can find more information about these modifications here.
