Thermal mass flow meter & conditioner for industrial applications

COMBIMASS® gas flow meters use thermal dispersion technology to directly measure the standard volumetric flow rate of the dry gas as per DIN 1343. Thermal mass flow meters are very precise as compared to other available technologies, in particular at low gas velocities and low pressures. Each instrument is individually calibrated in the CAMASS® Calibration Lab, taking into account all process and installation conditions. Pressure, temperature range, gas composition, pipe orientation and sensor installation (e.g. top or side mount) can all be simulated in the lab. This ensure high accuracy over the entire range of the instrument.

If the straight inlet and outlet pipe runs are insufficient, or if very high accuracy is required, the COMBIMASS® flow conditioner can be installed upstream of the flow meter to improve and stabilize the flow pattern. Otherwise, flow deviations due to due to unfavourable pipe runs can reduce measurement accuracy by 20% or more.

Multiple sensor systems can be used for large diameter pipes or rectangular ducts. Multiple local measurements are automatically averaged by a separate electronic module to calculate a more precise flow rate than would be possible with a single sensor. Individual and average measurements can be transmitted to the main PLC using any of the common bus protocols. Binder service specialists can measure flow profiles during start-up to confirm assumed or calculated profiles, and/or determine the optimal insertion depth for each flow sensor.
