MPNH Series
Digital Air/ Gas Flow Meters MPNH
In many industries the need for monitoring gas flow does not involve hazardous gases or potentially dangerous operating conditions. These applications can include many water and wastewater treatment applications, the HVAC industry, the general use of compressed air, and many other applications using air, nitrogen, argon, etc. In these cases, an explosion-proof electronics enclosure is not required, and may be considered a needless expense. To meet this challenge, Eldridge Products, Inc. offers the Master-Touch™ MPNH Series of thermal mass flowmeters in an economical enclosure suited to general area conditions.
In the MPNH Series digital air flow meter, we have combined all of the features of our Master-Touch™ thermal mass flow meter technology with a convenient ABS enclosure. These enclosures have a clear polycarbonate cover for viewing the rate and total display. The cover can be easily removed for all input/output connections and for access to the 4-button keypad which provides direct control and adjustment of the flowmeter.
Just like the Master-Touch™ MP Series, our MPNH Series flow meters are available for both inline and insertion style installations. Most inline flow meters are available with a number of mounting options including MNPT or butt weld ends and ANSI, DN or JIS flanges. Smaller sizes are available with compression fittings or clamp flanges. All inline style flowmeters for line sizes of 3/4” and larger include a pair of inlet flow conditioners. These conditioners help to improve problematic, uneven flow profiles by disrupting the gas flow and allowing it to assume a more uniform profile, without adding any significant pressure drop in most applications. Insertion style flow meters can be installed with compression fittings, ball valve assemblies or flanges welded to the probe support. Tube flow sections, electropolishing and a certified "O2 cleaning" service are just some of the other options available to meet almost any installation requirement. So you can have the accuracy and flexibility of the Master-Touch™ thermal mass flowmeter for virtually all non-hazardous applications.
The Master-Touch™ MPNH Series digital air flow meter is approved by CSA/CUS for use in general purpose (Ordinary) area locations.
