In-Line Flowmeter – Compressed Air & Nitrogen (3/8 Npt)

The CDI 5100 extends the capability of the CDI 5000 series to the low flow rates found in many point-of-use applications. It does this by concentrating the flow into a small area that is chosen to optimize the tradeoff between pressure drop and low-flow sensitivity. Used in its intended flow range and at a pressure of 100 psig, the 5100 will create a pressure drop no greater than one psi.The meter measures flow by maintaining one probe warmer than the other. It determines the mass flow rate from the amount of heat required. The flow rate, in scfm or equivalent units, is shown on a large, four-digit display; a 4-20 mA output and a pulse output permit remote display, totalizing and data collection.Features:– Accurate measurement of small point-of-use flows- Minimal pressure drop- Weather resistant and surge protected- Milliamp output- Pulse output convertible to threshold output- U ser-configurable scaling, filtering and units of measure- Optional wired or wireless output for networking
