Manual 111-082010_Nall Mass Flowmeters Page 5 of 23 1.0 General Information 1.1 Features: Hastings Linear Mas s Flowmeters are designed to accurately measure mass flow without corre ctions or compensations for gas pressure and temp erature. Due to a linear electrical out put signal, the flowmeters are ideal for use with totalizers and recorders.
Manual 111-082010_Nall Mass Flowmeters Page 6 of 23 2.0 OPERA TING PRINCIPLE 2.1 Operating Principle Hastings Linear Mass Flowmeters operat e on a unique electrical principle whereby a capillary tube is heated uniformly by a transformer. The temp erature distribution is symmetrical about the midpoint at zero flow (see Figure 2.

Manual 111-082010_Nall Mass Flowmeters Page 9 of 23 The use of O-ring seal connectors on the transducers w ith female threads is often more convenient for ma ny low pressure applications, such as with U-Series transducers.
Manual 111-082010_Nall Mass Flowmeters Page 10 of 23 4.4.3 Electrical Zero Check Turn the power supply “ON” and allow the flowmeter 30 minutes to warm up. Stop all flow through the transducer and check the electrical zero. CAUTION: DO NOT ASSUME THAT ALL METERING VA LVES WILL COMPLE TELY SHUT OFF FLOW.

Manual 111-082010_Nall Mass Flowmeters Page 13 of 23 Example : (A) What is the output sensitivity of HS-1KS? (B) What is the flow rate for a 2.71 volt output? Solution : (A) Sensitivity = rated flow R a t e d o u t p u t = 1000 SCCM 5 . 0 0 V D C = 200 SCCM/VDC (B) Mass Flow = output X sensitivity = 2.
Manual 111-082010_Nall Mass Flowmeters Page 14 of 23 6.0 PRESSURE EFFECTS 6.1 Standard Transducers: The Hastings Linear Mass Flowmeter can measure mass fl ow accurately without co rrections for a variation in line pressure from one psia (.068 ATM) to 250 psig (18 ATMS.
Manual 111-082010_Nall Mass Flowmeters Page 15 of 23 7.0 TEMPERA TURE EFFECTS 7.1 Ambient Temperatures: 7.1.1 Transducer In order to maintain the accuracy of the flowmeter with changes in ambient temperat ure, it is necessary to keep the temperature of the transdu cer between 10° C and 50° C.
Manual 111-082010_Nall Mass Flowmeters Page 16 of 23 8.0 DIFFERENTIAL PRESSURE 8.1 TYPICAL PRESSURE DROPS The differential pressure drop (DP) across the Hastin gs HS-Series Mass Flow Transduce r can vary between 0.50” H2O depending upon the transducer’s range.
Manual 111-082010_Nall Mass Flowmeters Page 17 of 23 8.2.2 Decrease in Line Pressure The relationship stated in Section 8. 2.1 also shows that DP i ncreases prop ortionally as absolute line pressure decreases. This situation is true un til the DP becomes a significant part of the tota l absolute line pressure.

Manual 111-082010_Nall Mass Flowmeters Page 20 of 23 10.0 Maintenance 10.1 Transducers: 10.1.1 Cleaning With proper care in installing and us e, the transducer will require little or no maintenance. Should the small passages in the transducer become part ially clogged, they can be cleaned with any suitable solvent such as acetone, vythene, etc.
