The Aalborg Instruments GFM 173 is a thermal mass flow meter designed for accurate gas measurement, featuring pressure and temperature compensation. It operates with a medium temperature range of 0°C to +50°C and supports a maximum operating pressure of 69 bar overpressure. The unit requires a power supply of 12 to 26 VDC at 200 mA and provides linear output signals of 4-20 mA and 0-5 VDC corresponding to the selected measuring range. Constructed with an aluminum sensor measuring body, the meter includes wetted parts made of aluminum, brass, 316 SS stainless steel, and Viton O-rings. Process connections are made via two 1/4" compression fittings for approximately 6.3 mm tubing. The measuring range spans from 0-10 ml/min to 0-10 l/min, referenced to nitrogen at 20°C and 1 bar absolute, with a turndown ratio of 1:100 and a response time of 2 seconds.
