Measurement Technique / Volume Flow Measurement / Flow Measurement System
Flow Measurement System / FMS 490
Portable measurement system for volume flow. The System generates a controlled volume flow (mass flow). It can be used on suction side and on pressure side by replugging the hose to the corresponding connection.

FMS
The appliance measures the pressure difference in a venture nozzle and calculates out of it the volume flow rate.

Characteristics of our Flow Measurement System:
- Determination of the volume flow rate without impact it.
- Measuring of the flow temperature, the ambient pressure and the rel. humidity of the air, to indicate the atmospheric density and the mass flow.
- Automatic average determination about a variable period from 10 to 90 seconds.
- Automatic readjust of the auxiliary air blower
- Selectable measurement unit preselect ion ([l/s], [m3/s], [m3/min], [cfm], [g/s], [kg/min], [kg/h]) about the Display.
- Measurement rage from likely 2 l/s to 50 l/s without to change the nozzle.
- Internal measurement data memory of the last 10 records.
- Flexible measuring hose.
- External display which is connected with the appliance about a cable.
Size (width, height, length):570 mm x 280 mm x 260 mm
