FAQs:
  • Does the HQRS Thermal Gas Mass Flow Meter require pressure or temperature compensation?
    No, the HQRS meter directly measures thermal mass flow and displays the standard volumetric flow rate without requiring any temperature or pressure compensation.
  • What types of gases can this flow meter measure?
    It can measure a wide variety of gases, including explosive gases like natural gas, hydrogen, and biogas, as well as corrosive gases. As long as the gas mixture's composition and mixing ratio are known and stable, it can be measured.
  • What communication interfaces are available with the HQRS flow meter?
    The meter supports traditional 4-20 mA and pulse outputs, along with fieldbus interfaces like HART, MODBUS, and M-BUS. It also features Bluetooth for wireless on-site adjustments and is modular to accommodate other protocols.
  • Is the flow meter suitable for harsh or outdoor environments?
    Yes, it is designed for harsh environments with an IP67 protection rating, corrosion-resistant 316L stainless steel construction, and robust housing for all-weather application.
