The FMA-1600A Series mass and volumetric flow meters use the principle of differential pressure within a laminar flow field to determine the mass flow rate. A laminar flow element (LFE) inside the meter forces the gas into laminar (streamlined) flow. Inside this region, the Poiseuille equation dictates that the volumetric flow rate be linearly related to the pressure drop. A differential pressure sensor is used to measure the pressure drop along a fixed distance of the LFE. This, along with the viscosity of the gas, is used to accurately determine the volumetric flow rate. Separate absolute temperature and pressure sensors are incorporated and correct the volumetric flow rate to a set of standard conditions. This standardized flow rate is commonly called the mass flow rate and is reported in units such as standard cubic feet per minute (SCFM) or standard liters per minute (SLM). Standard units include a 0 to 5V output (4 to 20 mA optional) and RS232 communications. The gas select feature can be adjusted from the front keypad or via RS232 communications. Volumetric flow, mass flow, absolute pressure, and temperature can all be viewed or recorded through the RS232 connection. It is also possible to multi-drop up to 26 units on the same serial connection to a distance of 38 m (125'). These flow meters are available in a portable version (“-B” option), the battery charge will last up to 18 hours.

_Comes complete with 24 Vdc universal power supply, 1.8 m (6') cable, 8-pin male Mini-DIN connector, operator’s manual, and NIST certificate. Units are calibrated to air @ 5 psig for 0 to 1 LPM, 15 psig for 2 to 10 LPM, 30 psig for 20 to 100 LPM, and 50 psig for 200 LPM and greater. Calibrations done at ambient 25ºC (77ºF) temperature only._ 

_To replace the standard RS232 communications with RS485, add suffix_ _**“-RS485”** to the model number; for additional cost. Standard input is 0 to 5V, for optional 4 to 20 mA input add suffix_ _**“-IN”** to the model number; no additional cost. Standard output is scaled to the mass flow rate. For volumetric flow rate as standard output add suffix “-VOL” to the model number; no additional cost. Standard output is 0 to 5V, for optional 4 to 20 mA output, add suffix,_ _**“-I”** to model number; for additional cost. For two 4 to 20 mA output, add suffix_ _**“-I2”** to model number; for additional cost. For two 0 to 5V output, add suffix_ _**“V2”** to model number; for additional cost._ 

_**Optional secondary output are scaled the same as the primary output scale. For an alternate output scale add suffix_ _**“-T”** to the model number for temperature or_ _**“-P”** for pressure; no additional cost. For a portable version of the meter add suffix_ _**“-B”** to the model number; for additional cost. Portable versions have an integral battery on the meter and come with one 9V battery installed. Option not available on “-I” or “I2” models where 4 to 20 mA is the chosen output. For units scaled in SCFH, add suffix_ _**“-SCFH”** to model number; no additional cost.  Please specify the desired range in SCFH. For totalizer option, add suffix_ _**“-TOT”** to the model number; for additional cost.  Please specify resolution._ 

_This is a 6-digit counter. Examples: For totalizing in liters with 1/100 liter resolution, the max count would be 9999.99. For totalizing in liters with 1 liter resolution, the max count would be 999999._
