Eldridge Products, Inc. has pursued innovation and excellence in thermal dispersion
mass flow measurements since 1988. Thermal Mass Flow Metersoffer simple,
low cost operating for accurate, economical and reliable gas flow measurements
for various applications - Compressed Air, Biagas, Natural Gas, Aeration, Digesters,
Landfield, Wet Gas, HVAC systems - virtually any gas flow app lication .
Master-Touch flow meters can solve your gas measurement challenges.
Integral style thermal mass flow meters all of the components and
connections are located within the enclosure. The enclosure is Explosion proof
( Flame proof) rated for use in hazardous are locations. The enclosure is mounted
directly to the insertion probe assembly. The enclosure contains the electrical
connections, signal processing electronics and the LCD display, with programming
keypad.
Thermal mass flow meters generally follow King's Law, and use the principle of convective heat transfer to directly measure mass flow.
EPl's proprietary thermal mass flow sensors use two precisely matched, reference-grade platinum Resistance Temperature Detectors
(Rills). The sensor elements are hermetically sealed in 316L Stainless Steel (or optional Haste/lay C276) thin wall sheaths. Our
microcontroller operated smart sensor technology preferentially heats one RTO; the other RTD acts as the temperature reference.
The process gas flow dissipates heat from the first RTD, causing an increase in the power required to maintain a balance between the
RTOs. This increase is directly related to the molecular gas flow rate.Our sensors are temperature compensated for a wide process
gas temperature range and insensitive to pressure changes, therefore the flow meter output is a direct mass flow rate value.

The maximum pressure for insertion style flow meters is stated in the General Specifications section of this manual.
To reduce the possibility of personal injury when servicing the flow meter, each size is rated such that the maximum
force applied to the transmitter is approximately 25 pounds. Caution should be exercised if applying higher
pressure and a holding device may be required to prevent the transmitter from being projected out of the
process line when removing or replacing the transmitter assembly.
