Add to compare

The d·flux multi series is a fast and reliable multi-parameter mass flow meter and controller for gases constructed with a 316L stainless steel (1.4404) or aluminium body designed for high gas mass flow measurement using differential pressure technology over an internal laminar flow element. It is particularly suitable for applications requiring simultaneous measurement of mass flow, volumetric flow, normalized flow, pressure, and temperature with the ability to switch between up to 15 pre-programmed gases or mixtures without loss of accuracy. The device is characterized by its compact design which requires no long straight inlet or outlet sections, and it features an advanced VADy algorithm for real-time calculation of an optimum dynamic range up to 1:1000. Equipped with a variety of sensor options including the Prime H2 sensor with gold-plated membranes for hydrogen applications, the unit operates across a wide pressure range of 1 to 14 bar(a) and temperatures from -20 to +60 °C. Certified in accordance with ISO 9001 and featuring an IP54-rated housing, the d·flux multi series supports diverse communication protocols such as Modbus RTU, Profinet, and EtherCAT, and can be configured wirelessly via the Bluetooth-enabled Vögtlin Connect app
