EX-FLOW F-120MX mass flow meter

Intrinsically Safe Gas Mass Flow Meters for lowest flow rates

Bronkhorst^® EX-FLOW Mass Flow Meters (MFMs) are suited for precise gas flow measurement in ATEX Zone 1 hazardous areas. The MFM should be connected to a power supply with galvanic isolation / preamplifier / readout system (located in the safe zone). See Bronkhorst^® E-8000 Series.

EX-FLOW model F-120MX covers flow ranges from 0,15...7,5 ml_n/min up to 0,18...9,5 ml_n/min (N₂-equivalent) at operating pressures up to 200 bar.

The intrinsically safe measuring head of the flow meter is tested according to ATEX 114 Directive 2014/34/EU and approved under EC-Type Examination Number: KEMA 01ATEX1172, protection II 2 G Ex ib IIC T4 Gb.
Other certifications: IECEx (IECEx DEK14.0060) and TIIS (検・第TC21584号).
