Series GFM4 Gas Mass Flow Meter

Gas Mass Flow Meter
Pressure, Temperature and Flow Monitoring

Pressure, Temperature and Flow Monitoring

The Series GFM4 Gas Mass Flow Meter is an ideal choice for the measurement of flow rates of a wide variety of gases. This multi parameter flow meter supports various functions such as flow totalizer, flow, temperature, and pressure alarms, and is available in a choice of 0 to 5VDC, 0 to 10VDC, or 4 to 20 mA output signals. Standard LCD and four button keypad allows easy access to the many features of the GFM4. Digital interface operates through available RS-485 or RS-232, providing access to internal data parameters and multi-drop capability of up to 255 units (RS-485 only). Set alarms remotely via digital interface for flow, pressure, and temperature to alert user of high or low thresholds being exceeded. With a high ±1% FS accuracy and ±0.25% FS repeatability, the GFM4 is the optimal choice in gas flow metering and monitoring. The GFM4 comes with a NIST traceable certificate.
