The FS10i is a compact, economical solution to air and compressed air flow metering. It is the first, and currently only, thermal mass flow meter to meet SIL 2. Utilizing application proven thermal mass flow technology, the FS10i provides a highly accurate and repeatable linearized 4-20 mA output of flow rate. Additionally, for applications benefiting from a high or low flow alarm point, the FS10i includes a user programmable 1A SPDT relay output.
