Series 500
Eldridge Products, Inc. (EPI) is a proven leader in gas flow measurement. Our Master-Touch™ thermal dispersion gas mass flowmeters and patented Flow Averaging Tubes set the standard for innovation, performance and reliability. Now our ValuMass™ Series 500 flow meters offer a lower cost option for many flow applications with the high value associated with all of EPI’s flow measurement instrumentation.
The Series 500 ValuMass™ flowmeters include 16-bit linearization technology for excellent flow rate accuracy and rugged construction of 316/316L stainless steel wetted parts. The robust feature set includes:
- a 0 – 5 or 0 – 10 VDC output
- a 4 – 20mA output
- RS485 Modbus RTU communications
- a 0 – 1 kHz output proportional flow
- an RS232C port
- a 2-line, 16-character backlit LCD and 4-button keypad
- a programmable dry contact Relay for alarms or pulsed output totalization
Our ValuMass™ inline and insertion style thermal dispersion flow meters accommodate virtually all common installation requirements. The insertion style flow meters are available with ½” OD probes in 6”, 12” or 18” lengths and a compression fitting is included with all insertion style flowmeters. The inline style flow meters are available for line sizes from ¼” to 2”. The 3 ½” long flow sections have MNPT ends as standard for easy mounting in the process line. ValuMass™ flowmeters accept 24VDC, 115VAC or 230VAC input power as specified at the time of purchase.
Now you can have the accuracy and reliability of an Eldridge Products' thermal mass flow meter for applications that don't require the full feature set of the Master-Touch™ product line.
The ValuMass™ Series 500 is CE compliant.
