Universal Flow Monitors, Inc. offers FlowStream® OFM Series mass flowmeters for fast and accurate measurement of nonaggressive gases. The meters are designed for blanketing gas, purge gas, shielding gas, leak detection and other applications in industrial, laboratory and medical settings.
Field-Selectable Multi-Gas Capability
Field selectability of multiple gases is a feature of FlowStream® meters for measuring mass flow rate of clean and dry gases. A user can easily program a FlowStream® meter for precise and reliable measurement of air, argon, carbon dioxide, helium, hydrogen, methane, nitrogen or oxygen. A gas is selectable by pushing buttons on the meter face. The span of the unit’s transmitted signal can be changed with push buttons as well.
Totalizing Capability
Totalizing capability is offered to increase a FlowStream® meter’s ability to measure, monitor and control the total amount of gas used in a process. The meters are available with programmable set points for flow as standard. A scaled pulse output for totalization is a selectable option. Bidirectional and battery-operated units are available.
Rapid Response Time
A rapid response time of 5 milliseconds (ms) is another selectable option for immediate detection of flow fluctuation in robotic applications and other automated systems. FlowStream® meters provide a fast 50 ms response as a standard feature. The 5 ms response time is user selectable by pushing buttons on the meter face.
Reads Wide Range of Flow Rates
FlowStream® meters can read full-scale flow rates as low as .5 (five-tenths) SCM up to 1000 SLPM. The meters also can accommodate operating pressures as high as 125 PSI. NIST traceable accuracies are +/- 1 percent for the majority of gases in the FlowStream® group and +/-2 percent for nearly all other gases in the group. Rugged, Cost-Effective Instruments FlowStream® OFM Series mass flowmeters are rugged, cost-effective instruments that employ Laminar Flow Element technology.
The meters are NEMA Type 4 watertight construction for use in wet areas. They are rated EMI immune for heavy industrial use and are electrically shielded for use near welders, motors and transformers. Intrinsic safety, including an appropriate barrier, is offered as an option.
Easy to Install and Use
FlowStream® meters are easy to use and simple to install. They do not require straight pipe runs and can be mounted in any orientation. They feature built-in alarm switches and are available with LCD readout displays for flow, pressure, temperature and total. Output options include current, voltage and frequency.
Universal Flow Monitors, Inc., located in Hazel Park, Michigan, has manufactured flow meters for a variety of industries for more than 20 years. Product literature for FlowStream® flowmeters is available in English and Spanish on the www.flowmeters.com website.
