Dwyer Series GFM2

Series GFM2 Gas Mass Flow Meter

±1% FS, Programmable Relays

Dwyer Series GFM2
Series GFM2

The Dwyer Series GFM2 Gas Mass Flow Meter is an ideal choice for the measurement of flow rates of a wide variety of gases. GFM2 utilizes a straight tube sensor with a restrictor flow element to provide a high ±1% FS accuracy and ±0.25% FS repeatability.

Gas flow can be displayed in 23 different engineering units on an optional 2×16 character LCD display. Digital RS-232 or RS-485 interfaces allow for easy communication and for multi-drop capability of up to 256 units (RS-485 only). Additionally, this user-friendly interface allows for the programming of high and low gas flow alarms, along with two electromechanical SPDT relays with latch options. Stores calibration information for up to 10 different gases, internal or user-specific K-factors. Comes standard with support software for programming the various parameters of the GFM2. With self diagnostics run at start up and a pressure limit of up to 500 psi (34.5 bar), the GFM2 is the optimal choice for many flow measurement application. The GFM2 includes a NIST traceable certificate.
