IS-Max™ Mass Flow Meter for CID1 (Zone 0, 1)

Flowmeters designed for Class I Division 1 environments offer accurate gas measurement in areas where explosive gases are consistently present.

IS-Max™ is intrinsically safe and has received certification for Class I Div 1, ATEX Zone 0, IECEx, thereby ensuring adherence to regulations in hazardous locations.

Employing laminar differential pressure technology, IS-Max delivers precise mass and volumetric flow measurements along with multivariate reporting that includes temperature and pressure information.

Key Specifications:

  • Precision: ± 0.4 % of the reading or ± 0.2 % of the full scale
  • Digital MODBUS or Alicat® ASCII,  plus analog options make it easy to gather data and automate from outside the hazardous zone
  • A clear display facilitates rapid verification during both installation and field assessments
  • As many as 128 pre-installed gas calibrations allow for immediate switching without any loss of accuracy
  • Parameters: Mass flow, volumetric flow, absolute/gauge pressure, barometric pressure, temperature, relative humidity, dew point, and additional metrics

Full Scale Flow Ranges: 0.5 SCCM-5,000 SLPM

Operating Pressure Range: 11.5-160 PSIA, Optional 11.5-320 PSIA with ISMQ
