IN-FLOWF-112AI

Industrial Style Gas Mass Flow Meters for medium flow rates

Bronkhorst® model F-112AI Mass Flow Meters (MFMs) are suited for precise measurement of flow ranges between 0,8…40 ln/min and 1,4…250 ln/min with pressure rating between vacuum and 100 bar. The MFM consists of a thermal mass flow sensor and a microprocessor based pc-board with signal and fieldbus conversion and a PID controller for optional mass flow control by means of a separately mounted control valve. The IN-FLOW model is of rugged design (IP65) for use in industrial environments or even Zone 2 hazardous areas, with optional ATEX Cat. 3 or FM Class I, Div. 2 approval.

IN-FLOW series are equipped with a digital pc-board, offering high accuracy, excellent temperature stability and fast response. The main digital pc-board contains all of the general functions needed for measurement and control. In addition to the standard RS232 output the instruments also offer analog I/O. As an option, an on-board interface can be mounted to provide CANopen®, DeviceNet™, EtherCAT®, PROFIBUS DP, PROFINET, Modbus RTU, ASCII or TCP/IP, EtherNet/IP, POWERLINK or FLOW-BUS protocols. The IN-FLOW model features optional Multi Gas / Multi Range functionality, providing (OEM-) customers with optimal flexibility and process efficiency.
