Inline
Eldridge Products, Inc. (EPI) is a proven leader in gas flow measurement.
Our Master-Touch thermal dispersion gas mass flowmeters and patented Flow
Averaging Tubes set the standard for innovation, performance and reliability. Now
our Series 500 ValuMass flow meters offer a lower cost option for many flow
applications with the high value associated with all of EPI’s flow measurement
instrumentation.The Series 500 ValuMass flow meters include 16-bit linearization
technology for excellent flow rate accuracy and rugged construction of 316L stainless
steel wetted parts. The robust feature set includes:
0-5 or 0-10 VDC output, flow & temperature
4-20 mA output, flow & temperature
Frequency output 0-1 kHz proportional flow
Programmable event relay(s) one 1amp with frequency out, optional two 1amp without
frequency out.
Protocols- RS232; RS485 Modbus RTU
Optional Protocols- HART, Profibus DP or BACnet
Display 2-line, 16 Character backlit Transflective LCD and 4-button keypad

Series 500 Inline and insertion style flow meters accommodate virtually all
common installations requirements. The insertion style flow meters are available
with 1/2” OD probes in 6” to 24” lengths, The inline style are available for pipe sizes
SERIES 500 & 540 from 1/4” to 2”. The 3 1/2” long flow sections have MNPT ends as standard for easy
mounting in the process line. ValuMass flow meters accept 24VDC, 115VAC or
230VAC input power as specified at the time of purchase.

RTD’s (Resistance Temperature Detectors)

Series 500 & 540


Thermal Technology
EPI’s thermal mass flow meters are solid state instruments that use the principle of convective heat transfer to directly
meausre gas mass flow. EPI’s sensors consist of two matched reference grade resistance temperature detectors (RTD’s).
A microcontroller preferentially heats one sensor; the other sensor acts as a control temperature reference. The gas flow
dissipates heat from the heated sensor, in Constant Temperature Anemometer (CTA) mode for dry-gas operation. This heat
dissipation is directly related to the gas molecular rate of flow. Our sensors are temperature compensated and insenstive to
pressure changes for direct output readings, so no additional instrumentation or calculations are required. The output signal
is a true mass flow rate signal which can be directly interfaced with your data acquisition system.
