AWM5000 Series

In-Line Flow Measurement

AWM5000 Series Microbridge Mass Airflow Sensors feature a Venturi type flow housing. They measure flow as high as 20 standard liters per minute (SLPM) while inducing a maximum pressure drop of 2.25" H₂O. The microbridge chip is in direct contact with the flow stream, greatly reducing error possibilities due to orifice or bypass channel clogging.

Rugged, Versatile Package
The rugged plastic package has been designed to withstand common mode pressures up to 50 psi, and the small sensing element allows 100 g of shock without compromising performance. The included "AMP" compatible connector provides reliable connection in demanding applications.

On-board Signal Conditioning
Each AWM5000 sensor contains circuitry which performs amplification, linearization, temperature compensation, and gas calibration. A 1 to 5 Vdc linear output is possible for all listings regardless of flow range (5, 10, 15, or 20 SLPM) or calibration gas (nitrogen, carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide, or argon). All calibration is performed by active laser.

CAUTION: PRODUCT DAMAGE

AWM Series Microbridge Mass Airflow Sensors are not designed to sense liquid flow and will be damaged by liquid flow through the sensor.
