Sage Paramount 400 Series is a heavy-duty industrial thermal mass flow meter for measuring air and gas mass flow and is available in inline, Insertion, and remote styles. Ideal for process gas flow, the meter achieves gas mass flow accuracy of +/- 0.5% of full scale +/- 1.0% of reading.

The Paramount is Sage’s most advanced solution for premium gas mass flow, offering its users the most advanced options and room for expansion. It utilizes an advanced microprocessor, permitting the fastest response to temperature changes.

Among the strengths thermal technology offers include application versatility, wide turndown, and no moving parts. The Sage meters use a proprietary digital hybrid circuit sensor that delivers no drift and improved performance, resolution, and reproducibility. Sage is the pioneer of the first In-Situ Calibration Verification.

Included with the purchase of the Paramount meter is the SageCom software. This software permits the user to perform diagnostics, ensuring the meter functions correctly. In applications where the gas composition may change, such as biogas or flare gas, the user can change the gas mixture while the meter remains operational in the field.

The Paramount also has optional Bluetooth to facilitate communication between the laptop with SageCom software and the meter. Three Ethernet options are available to network critical flow data from the meters to the user’s control system: Ethernet/IP, Modbus/TCP, or BACnet/IP.

Paramount Features & Benefits

Thermal Technology Benefits:

- Direct Digital Gas Mass Flow – You no longer need pressure and temperature compensation with “mass flow” versus measuring with a “volumetric flow” meter.
- Accuracy and Repeatability – Why sacrifice one when you can have both precision and reproducibility?
- Wide Turndown – High rangeability means accurate measurement over a wide flow range covering a 100 to 1 turndown with a resolution of 1000 to 1.
- Low-End Sensitivity – Measure accurately as low as 5 SFPM (e.g., 1 SCFM in a 6″ pipe).
- Negligible Pressure Drop – Does not impede the flow or waste energy.
- No Moving Parts – Eliminates costly bearing replacements and prevents undetected accuracy shifts.
- Ease of installation with convenient mounting hardware.

Sage First-to-Market Benefits:

- Bluetooth wireless connectivity permits remote programming, which is exceptionally beneficial for changing the settings of hard-to-reach integral-style meters (optional).
- Due to the Sage Digital Hybrid Circuit, all Sage meters offer no drift and improved performance, resolution, and reproducibility.
- An easy-to-use Sage In-Situ Calibration Verification validates that the sensor is clean, and the meter remains in calibration and functions correctly without removing it from service, saving time and money from annual calibrations.

Other Benefits of Sage Paramount:

- SageCom™ Validation & Configuration software is included to deliver the full strength of the meter.
- Inline meters have built-in flow conditioning to reduce the straight-run requirements, while Captive Flow Conditioners assist with insertion-style meters.
- Sage meters meet EPA regulations for greenhouse gas reporting and quantifying carbon credits protocols.
- For meters in its class, Sage meters have the lowest power dissipation on the market (e.g., under 100 mA at 24VDC).
- Isolated 4-20 mA output and pulsed output of the totalized flow
- Modbus® compliant RS485 RTU communications (HART™ optional)
- A separate USB communication channel and mini-USB permit independent connection with SageCom without disrupting MODBUS output.
- High-contrast photo-emissive OLED display with flow rate, total, and temperature, with a graphical flow indicator
- Calibration milliwatts (mW) continuously show on the meter’s display, providing ongoing diagnostic data.
- The remote style has lead-length compensation permitting the electronics up to 1000 feet from the probe.
- CL I Div 2 (with CL I Div 1 optional) is the standard hazardous area classification, and the meter enclosure is rated NEMA 4X.
- A 1/2” diameter probe is standard (rugged 3/4” optional), with a sensor with a double seal (for insertion style).
- Bluetooth communication between the meter and SageCom is optional.
- Ethernet communication between the meter and SageCom (24 VDC operating power only) is optional.

The Sage Choice: The Most Energy Efficient Thermal Mass Flowmeter

Sage meters are the most energy-efficient thermal mass flow meter, suggesting that saving energy begins by choosing the correct meter.

Why Waste Energy?

Saving energy should be on everyone’s mind. On a broad scale, the goal of all companies should be to reduce air pollution, cut global warming emissions, decrease dependence on coal and other fossil fuels, and move America and the world toward a cleaner, healthier energy future.

Save Energy with Sage Thermal Mass Meters

The Sage Choice: The Most Energy Efficient Thermal Mass Flow Meter — The most energy-efficient thermal flow meter is manufactured by Sage Metering; revealing that saving energy begins by making the *Sage* choice.

Sage Metering thermal mass flow meters have a three-step, three-minute in-situ calibration verification. The Sage meter draws a mere 10% of the power than other thermal meter manufacturers. That’s just 2.4 watts! If you are purchasing mass flow meters to help identify wasteful energy or improve efficiencies, why would you use a meter that requires ten times more energy than a Sage meter?

Saving Energy by Choosing the Right Meter

While saving energy on tools, may seem insignificant, with the industry selling approximately 65,000 thermal flowmeters a year ($200M), potentially requiring an additional 17+ watts to operate over a Sage meter, that could generate almost 1 million watts of wasted energy each year.

Sage Metering technology is all about saving energy, protecting our planet, and making extremely accurate and durable products.
