Product catalog summary
Overview: The document describes the Universal Flow Monitors' Laminar Flow Element differential pressure flowmeters, designed for clean, dry, non-corrosive, non-condensing gases. These meters provide mass flow output corrected for temperature and pressure, with applications in robotics, painting, and welding due to their EMI immunity and fast response time.
Specifications: The flowmeters offer a variety of outputs including 4-20 mA, 0-5 V, and pulse, and are NIST traceable and CSA Type 4 weatherproof. They maintain an accuracy of 1% of full scale, with calibration done on air using empirically derived conversion factors. The standard material for the meter body is anodized aluminum, with 316 Stainless Steel available for corrosion resistance.
Features: The meters include programmable set points, open collector outputs, and are intrinsically safe for hazardous locations. They offer selectable response times (5 or 50 ms) and visual readouts of flow rate, pressure, and temperature.
Applications: Typical applications include gas blanketing, sparging/purging gases, burner management, leak tests, and gas chromatography.
General Instrument Specifications: Flow ranges from 500 SCCM to 1,000 SLPM, with a maximum operating pressure of 100 PSIG and a burst pressure of 200 PSIG. The meters operate within a temperature range of -13 °F to 176 °F, with minimal pressure and temperature effects on accuracy.
Electrical Specifications: The meters provide analog outputs (4-20 mA, 0-5 V, etc.), frequency outputs, and pulse outputs. They feature user-selectable response times and alarms for high/low flow rates. The supply voltage ranges from 10-30 VDC, with specific requirements for intrinsically safe and battery-operated units.
Ordering Information: The document provides a model code structure for ordering, detailing options for materials, seals, special options, output types, gas types, pipe sizes, and thread types.

Corrected for temperature and pressure, it has a mass ow output. The EMI immunity and fast response (5 ms available) make the meters suitable for robotics’ applications (painting or welding). A variety of outputs are available (4-20 mA, 0-5 V, and pulse). NIST traceable and CSA units are Type 4 weatherproof. The accuracy is a uniform 1% of full scale subject to limitations described in the Specications section. • Leak Tests • Injectable Gases • Shielding Gas • Gas Consumption • Gas Blending • Gas Chromatography Features Units with a display can indicate ow rate or total as well as gas temperature and pressure. Meter types • Output options: current, voltage, frequency, and scaled pulse • Programmable set points • Open collector outputs • Intrinsically safe for hazardous location use - CSA and CE Calibration is done on air with empirically derived conversion factors. Oxygen cleaning optional. Sizes range from 1/4 to 3/4 inch NPT. Anodized aluminum is the standard material for the meter body and 316 Stainless Steel is available for use where external corrosion is a factor. Selectable options for installed units • Response time (5 or 50 ms) • Open collector set point ow rates • Range of electrical output • Visual readout of ow rate or total, pressure and temperature 1
