• Multi-parameter functionality
• Multi-gas functionality
• Capable of storing up to 90 gases and 20 custom gas mixes
•Simpleeldconguration
•Modiableoutputs
•High,loworin-rangealarmswithpresetactiondelayformassow,temperatureandpressure
DESCRIPTIONAPPLICATIONS
• Gas ow measurement
• Operating pumps and valves
• Process equipment
• Scientic and analytical
• Bioreactors and surface depositions
• Gas sampling
• General manufacturing
The Series DFM Digital Flow Meter is the industry leader in the
measurement of mass and volumetric ow rates of process gases.
Using the OLED/joystick interface, the owmeter can measure up to 30
different gases. Simultaneous displays of mass ow, volumetric ow,
pressure and temperature parameters promote applications in a variety
of industries.
