Compression Tube Flow Transmitters for Gases
Commonly referred to as thermal mass flowmeters, these transmitters calculate flow rate by measuring how much they cool as air and other gases pass through them. This means they’re accurate even if there are temperature and pressure changes, unlike most other transmitters. Used to monitor flow or control equipment, these transmitters, also known as transducers, convert measurements to an electrical signal that is interpreted by receiving devices. As flow increases, the output signal increases. For your receiving device to interpret the signal, you will need to calibrate it for the measurement range and output signal of the transmitter. They only give accurate readings within the rated measurement range. A digital display makes it easy to check the flow rate and adjust settings. Mount these transmitters inline with your system.
These transmitters are calibrated with air. You can use them with other gases, but they will not be as accurate.
Voltage Adapters—Voltage adapters are required to connect these transmitters to a power source.

Flow, Pressure, and Temperature Transmitters for Gases
Measure and transmit flow rate, pressure, and temperature of industrial gases, such as air, argon, CO2, and nitrogen, flowing through your system. These transmitters are ideal for applications where temperature and pressure can fluctuate. To calculate flow rate, they generate a small amount of heat, then measure the cooling effect your gas has on it. Also known as transducers, these transmitters convert measurements to an electrical signal that can be interpreted by receiving devices, such as remote displays and programmable logic controllers (PLCs). As flow, temperature, and pressure increases, the output signal increases. For your receiving device to interpret the signal, you will need to calibrate it for the measurement range and output signal of the transmitter. They only give accurate readings within the rated measurement range. Mount them directly inline with your system. They measure correctly no matter their mounting orientation.
A digital display makes it easy to read measurements and adjust settings based on your gas. These transmitters have two configurable outputs, and each output can only be wired for one measurement (flow rate, pressure, or temperature). Outputs configured as digital pulse send flow data using spikes of voltage that match the input voltage of the transmitter. One of the outputs can be wired for IO-Link, so you can change settings and receive error messages remotely from your PLC or computer. You’ll need an IO Link controller (not included) to connect to your interface.
These transmitters are calibrated with air but still measure accurately when used with other gases.
