Product catalog summary
Overview: The document describes the Universal Flow Monitors' Laminar Flow Element differential pressure flowmeters, suitable for clean, dry, non-corrosive, non-condensing gases. These meters provide mass flow output corrected for temperature and pressure, with an analog output and programmable alarms, making them ideal for process automation systems. They are NIST traceable and CSA Type 4 weatherproof, with accuracy less than 1% of reading.
Key Features:
  • Mass flow measurement with integrated temperature and pressure correction.
  • Visual readout of flow rate, total, pressure, and temperature.
  • Programmable set points and no moving parts for reduced maintenance.
  • Wide turndown ratio for precision measurement at various flow rates.
  • 10-point calibration with NIST Traceable certificate available.
Typical Applications: Burner management, leak tests, gas consumption, gas blending, shielding gas, laser cutting, and die casting.
General Specifications:
  • Flow Ranges: 0.005-1300 SLPM (0.01-2600 SCFH).
  • Pressure: 150 PSIG (10.34 Bar), Burst Pressure: 200 PSIG.
  • Accuracy: < +/- 1% of reading, Repeatability: ± 0.2% of full-scale.
  • Response Time: 25 msec.
  • Gas Compatibility: Non-corrosive, non-condensing gases like Air, Argon, Nitrogen, CO2, Oxygen, Helium, Hydrogen, Methane.
  • Operating Temperature: -13 °F to 176 °F (-25 ºC to 80 ºC).
  • Process Connections: 1/8”-3/4” NPT female, other types available.
  • Display: LCD showing rate/total, pressure, temperature, multi-gas, alarms.
Electrical Specifications:
  • Supply Voltage: 10–24 VDC, Supply Current: 22 mA max for 4-20 mA loop-powered transmitters.
  • Output: 4-20 mA with 2 alarms, Electrical Connection: 5-pin connector.
Principles of Operation: The flow of gas through a Laminar Flow Element generates a differential pressure between absolute and downstream pressure sensors, proportional to flow velocity and gas viscosity. Mass flow rate is determined using temperature and absolute pressure sensors to compensate for gas density variations.
Installation Dimensions: Various models with specific dimensions for mounting brackets and optional accessories like cables.
Ordering Information: Model codes are built using series, material, seals, output, gas type, thread type, special options, flow range, and pipe size. Accessories like mounting brackets are also available.

FLOW Range TYPICAL APPLICATIONS • Burner Management • Leak Tests • Gas Consumption • Gas Blending • Shielding Gas • Laser Cutting • Die Casting Features • Mass flow measurement with integrated temperature and pressure correction • Visual readout of flow rate or total, pressure, and temperature • Programmable set points • No moving parts reduces maintenance • Wide turndown for precision measurement at low or high flow • 10-point calibration (NIST Traceable certificate available) General Description Laminar Flow Element differential pressure flowmeters are good for clean, dry, non-corrosive, noncondensing gasses. Corrected for temperature and pressure, it has a mass flow output. The analog (4-20 mA) output along with 2 programmable alarm set points make the meters suitable for process automation systems. NIST traceable and CSA units are Type 4 weatherproof. The accuracy is less than 1% of reading subject to limitations described in the Specifications section. The integrated LCD display can indicate flow rate or total as well as gas temperature and pressure. Calibration is done on air with empirically derived conversion factors. Oxygen cleaning optional. Sizes range from 1/8 to 3/4 inch threaded connections. Anodized aluminum is the standard material for the meter body and 316 Stainless Steel is available for use where external corrosion is

Principles of Operation DIFFERENTIAL PRESSURE TEMPERATURE SENSOR ABSOLUTE PRESSURE DOWNSTREAM PRESSURE INPUT FLOW OUTPUT FLOW Laminar Flow Elements PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION: Flow of gas through a Laminar Flow Element generates a differential pressure between the absolute and downstream pressure sensors. This differential pressure is proportional to the flow velocity and viscosity of the gas. Mass flow rate is determined by utilizing the temperature and absolute pressure sensor to compensate for density variations of the gas.
