AirTrak 628S Flow Meter
- 200 millisecond response time to changes in flow rates
- High accuracy 1.0% of full scale over a broad range
- Outstanding 100:1 turndown
- Minimal flow blockage and low pressure drop
- High accuracy at low idle conditions
- Field adjustment of critical flow meter settings
- Digital electronics, field calibration validation
Overview
Our AirTrak 628S Thermal Mass Flow Meter was originally designed to work specifically with our BG3 Particulate Partial Flow Sampling System as an extremely fast, accurate, and repeatable engine air intake mass flow meter. In addition, the instrument has proven to be an excellent solution in all engine testing applications.
The meter has an extremely fast 200 millisecond response-time sensor making it ideal for the toughest transient test cycles where flow excursion can approach 10:1 within less than two seconds. Dual-Plate laminar flow profile conditioning elements inside the flow body maintain top performance in heavily constrained piping environments common in engine test cells, where long-straight pipe runs simply do not exist. In addition, the versatile microprocessor-based instrument integrates the functions of easy flow-range adjustment, meter validation and diagnostics in the field, sensor allignment guage for perfect installation, and a rugged probe-mounted NEMA 4X (IP65) housing.
Operating Principal: Thermal dispersion technology for direct mass flow measurement featuring no pressure or temperature compensation needed, no moving parts, low pressure drop, high turndown. Watch the video... Download Technical Datasheet
For raw exhaust mass flow measurement, our ExhaustTrak line of rugged, accurate and fast response-time mass flow meters are ideal for direct measurement of engine exhaust.
