A digital air flow meter refers to a flow meter that can accurately measure air or compressed air inline. Industrial Digital air flow meters can be divided into mass flow meters or volume flow meters.
What Is Digital Air Flow Meters?
The digital air flow meter is also a digital gas flow meter. The digital air flow meter can measure and display parameters such as mass flow, volume flow, gas temperature, atmospheric pressure and gas pressure of air or other gases. Such as argon, hydrogen, nitrogen, etc.
A digital air flow meter is different from a mechanical gas flow meter. The first is because of the local digital display. For example, a vortex flowmeter, or a handheld gas mass flowmeter. The parameters of the gas pipeline can be displayed locally. The second is because of the signal output. Mechanical gas flow meters cannot support signal output. But digital air flow meter generally supports signal output. Convenient for monitoring system or control system management. Such as 4-20mA, RS485 and so on.
First, We recommend a small digital airflow meter for you. Also called a portable gas mass flow meter. MF5700 series.
MF5700 series portable gas mass flow meter is a digital air flow meter developed based on MEMS flow sensor chip.
It is a measuring instrument with a wide application range. Low power consumption, portable, with the display. And capable of realizing networked.
Gas medium: air; nitrogen; oxygen; chlorine; carbon dioxide; contact the manufacturer for other gases.
Suitable for the monitoring and measurement of clinical oxygen supply in hospitals and various industrial applications.
