A vent air flow meter is commonly used in many industrial applications when gases and air vent, and there is a need for environmental compliance or energy conservation. Thermal mass meters offer an effective method to measure air and gas flow.
Industrial Venting Applications
Air and gases vent in various industrial situations. Some of these may require air and gas flow measurements, such as supply air, exhaust air, flue gas in incineration, vent air for environmental compliance, exhaust flow in stacks, test pumps for leaks, airflow to heat-treating furnaces, and drying air.
Vent Air Flow Measurement
The turndown and sensitivity of thermal mass flow meters provide an excellent solution for measuring various types of air and gases in industrial applications. Furthermore, the thermal mass flow meter provides direct mass flow (no need for separate temperature and pressure instrumentation), ease-of-installation, and negligible pressure drop, all of which are beneficial to airflow applications.
Air Flow Meter
The Sage Prime Thermal Mass Meters have extraordinary rangeability of at least 100 to 1 and fast response. Furthermore, the Sage air flow meters are driven digitally, delivering extreme low-end sensitivity (as low as 5 SFPM) and exceptional reproducibility. Sage Meters have 4 – 20 mA outputs of flow rate, pulsed outputs of consumption, in conjunction with fully Modbus compliant RS485 RTU communications. The meters also feature bright graphical displays of flow rate, a non-resettable totalizer (often a requirement for environmental reporting), a temperature reading, plus continuous diagnostics. For difficult-to-reach pipes or locations with extreme radiant heat, Sage also offers a remote style flow meter, with up to 1000 feet of lead length compensated cable – all electronics and power at the transmitter – thus, the probe has a terminal junction box.
