IE500A IP66 Rated Multi-gas, Multi-range Elastomer-sealed 250-500 slm Mass Flow Meter
Overview
IE500A mass flow meters are elastomer-sealed, multi-gas/multi-range MFMs designed for use in harsh environments where resistance to liquid and dust ingress are essential. Applications include those where "hose down" may be required, such as industrial glass production where moisture and particulates are present. With its IP66 rated enclosure, the IE500A MFM meets the stringent requirements of these aggressive environments.Â
The IE500A mass flow meter is capable of being ranged from 250 slm to 500 slm (N2 equivalent). The multi-gas/multi-range capability, along with tight performance specifications for accuracy, allow users to minimize inventory of high flow MFM part numbers.
- IP66 rated enclosure provides protection against water & dust in harsh environments
- Tightly controlled flow accuracy of process gas improves process matching
- Multi-gas/multi-range capability reduces MFM inventory

** The Full Scale flow rate is designated by a 3 digit number. The first two digits represent the significant digits of the Full Scale flow rate separated by a decimal point. The third digit is the exponent of the power of ten. Example flow rate code: 255 is 2.5 x 105Â sccm or 250 slm; 105 is 1.0 x 105Â sccm or 100 slm

Multi-gas/Multi-range Capable
The multi-gas/multi-range capability, along with tight performance specifications for accuracy, allow users to minimize inventory of high flow MFM part numbers. The multi-gas/multi-range feature (along with other custom controls) is accessed through the MFM embedded diagnostic interface, that requires no special software or hardware to operate. A standard Ethernet cable and JAVA-enabled HTML browser, widely available, are all the tools needed. The critical gas parameters for typical high flow rate gases are already stored on the device. Configuring the device is simply a matter of selecting the gas from a drop down menu and specifying the desired full scale flow range. The diagnostic interface also allows the user to perform routine device health checks, plot flow, and store operating data for off-line analysis.
