Low Flow Coriolis Mass Flow Meters / Controllers for Liquid and Gases
The mini CORI-FLOW™ Mass Flow Meters and Controllers from Bronkhorst® are precise and compact instruments based on the Coriolis measurement principle. They are designed to meet the needs of the low-flow market.
The Bronkhorst® model M15 Mass Flow Meter (MFM) is suitable for highly accurate measurement of gas or liquid flow in the range of 0 to 300 kg/h, which corresponds to 0 to 4000 ln/min when used with nitrogen. These instruments can operate at pressures up to 100 bar, with the possibility of higher pressure ratings upon request.
The instruments are equipped with a robust IP65 weatherproof housing and are optionally available with ATEX approval for use in Zone 2 hazardous areas.
The instrument contains a microprocessor-based PC-board with signal and fieldbus conversion, as well as a PID controller for optional mass flow control. This control can be achieved by means of a separately mounted control valve or pump.
