This flowmeter is precise and 
sophisticated. It must be accurately 
calibrated for application conditions.  
If in doubt, consult OMEGA’s  
Flow Department.
OMEGA® FMA-8500 Series high 
pressure mass flowmeters feature  
a superior ±0.25% repeatability for 
accurate measurement and control 
of gas flow. The flow sensor produces 
a 0 to 5 Vdc output signal linear to the 
mass flow rate for use in recording, 
indicating, or control purposes.
