Series GFM4 Gas Mass Flow Meter
Pressure, Temperature and Flow Monitoring
The Dwyer Series GFM4 Gas Mass Flow Meter is an ideal choice for the measurement of flow rates of a wide variety of gases. This multi parameter flow meter supports various functions such as flow totalizer, flow, temperature, and pressure alarms, and is available in a choice of 0 to 5VDC, 0 to 10VDC, or 4 to 20 mA output signals. Standard LCD and four button keypad allows easy access to the many features of the GFM4. Digital interface operates through available RS-485 or RS-232, providing access to internal data parameters and multi-drop capability of up to 255 units (RS-485 only). Set alarms remotely via digital interface for flow, pressure, and temperature to alert user of high or low thresholds being exceeded. With a high ±1% FS accuracy and ±0.25% FS repeatability, the GFM4 is the optimal choice in gas flow metering and monitoring. The GFM4 comes with a NIST traceable certificate.
