FS4100 General Purpose Mass Flow Sensor from 2 SLPM to 50 SLPM
The FS4100 are general-purpose mass flow sensors with various ranges from 2 SLPM up to 50 SLPM, with analog and digital outputs.
The FS4100 mass flow sensors are an upgraded version of the 3rd generation FS4000 sensors that were first released in 2008. The series covers a wide dynamic flow range with a working pressure rating of up to 5 bar (73 psi), and a compensated temperature range from -10°C to 55°C.
The sensors are designed with an easy change of mechanical connectors. The standard connectors are BSPT 1/4" or one-touch connectors, and other customized ones are available upon request.
The sensing elements are manufactured with Siargo’s proprietary MEMS thermal mass flow sensing technology (Thermal‐D®) that measures the calorimetry and diffusivity of the flow medium. The sensor surface is passivated with silicon nitride ceramic materials and water/oilproof nano‐coating for performance and reliability. Compared to the conventional calorimetric flow sensing technology, this unique sensing approach offers better linearity, removes gas sensitivity for gases with similar thermal diffusivities, and improves temperature performance. It can also auto‐recognize pre‐programmed gases with significant differences in thermal diffusivity. It is the first in the industry that senses the mass flow with multiple gases without a manual gas conversion factor. As such, it ensures high precision for gas measurements with air calibration.
Thermal-D ® is a trademark of Siargo’s thermal sensing technology.
