Product catalog summary
Introduction
The MASS-STREAM™ D-6400 series by Bronkhorst® are thermal mass flow meters and controllers for gases, operational since 1997. They are used in industries such as mechanical engineering, gas production, and the chemical industry, utilizing the constant temperature anemometer principle.

Flow Ranges
The devices support flow ranges from 0.01 to 10,000 ln/min (Air) with a turn-down ratio of up to 1:100, allowing for intermediate calibrations.

Measurement Principle
These instruments employ a direct through-flow measurement principle with a metal body, using a heater and a temperature probe. The energy needed to maintain a constant temperature difference between the sensors correlates with the mass flow.

Features
  • Direct inline measurement for various gases and mixtures.
  • Multiple communication options including Ethernet and CAN.
  • Compact, robust design with IP65 protection.
  • Available in aluminum or stainless steel for handling corrosive gases.
  • Modern TFT display with customizable options.

Applications
These devices are applicable in aeration, analytical instruments, biogas applications, burner controls, and more.

Operation
The digital models offer high signal integrity, storing up to 8 calibration curves, adaptable for various process conditions with integrated valves for flow control.

Technical Specifications
  • Accuracy: ±1.0% Rd plus ±0.5% FS.
  • Pressure sensitivity: ±0.3% Rd/bar.
  • Temperature sensitivity: ±0.1% Rd/°C.
  • Control stability: <0.2% FS.
  • Response time: approx. 0.3 to 0.9 seconds depending on the model.

On-board FLUIDAT® Gas Database
This feature allows real-time corrections based on gas properties and process temperature, facilitating easy switching between gases without recalibration.

Flow Profile and Sensitivity
The instruments are designed for a consistent flow profile, with recommendations for suitable inlet piping to ensure accuracy.

Pressure Loss
Pressure drop is minimal, comparable to a straight pipe run, with mesh screens available to condition the flow profile.

Enquiry and Order Information
Ordering requires details such as gas type, flow range, operating conditions, and connection types.

Bronkhorst FlowSuite
This software application allows configuration and monitoring of Bronkhorst devices, providing insights into device behavior and settings adjustments.
