1. General Information The Hastings 300 Series high range mass flow meters are designed to accurately measure mass flow at a range between 25 slm and 10000 slm. The Hastings 300 Series high range mass flow controllers are designed to accurately measure and control mass flow at a range between 25 slm and 2500 slm. These instruments are intrinsically linear and have an accuracy of better than ±1% F.S. (full scale). Hastings mass flow instruments do not require any periodic maintenance under n

1.3. Optional 4-20 mA Current Output An option to the standard 0 - 5 VDC output is the 4 - 20 mA current output that is proportional to flow. The 4 - 20 mA signal is produced from the 0 - 5 VDC output of the flow meter. The current loop output is useful for remote applications where pickup noise could substantially affect the stability of the voltage output. The current loop signal replaces the voltage output on pin 6 of the “D” connector. The load must be less than 600 Ω. Failure to m

2. Operation This section contains the necessary steps to assist in getting a new flow meter/controller into operation as quickly and easily as possible. Please read the following thoroughly before attempting to install the instrument. 2.1. Receiving Inspection Carefully unpack the Hastings 300 Series instrument and any accessories that have also been ordered. Inspect for any obvious signs of damage to the shipment. Immediately advise the carrier who delivered the shipment if any damag

sulfur hexafluoride) or at high pressures (> 250 psig) the instrument must be installed horizontally. When mounted in a different orientation the instrument should be re-zeroed at zero flow with the system pressurized to the expected operating pressure. One of the smallest of the internal passageways in the 300 Series is the diameter of the sensor tube, which can be 0.026” (0.66 mm), 0.017” (0.43mm), or 0.014” (0.36mm), so the instrument requires adequate filtering of the gas supply to pre

This current output is useful for remote applications where noise pick-up could substantially affect the stability of the voltage output.

2.7. Operation The standard instrument output is a 0 - 5 VDC and the signal is proportional to the flow i.e., 0 volts = zero flow and 5 volts = 100% of rated flow. The 4 - 20 mA option is also proportional to flow, 4 mA = zero flow and 20 mA = 100% of rated flow. 2.7.1. Operating Conditions For proper operation, the combination of ambient temperature and gas temperature must be such that the flow meter temperature remains between 0 and 60°C. Most accurate measurement of flow will be obt

Blending of Gases In the blending of two gases, it is possible to maintain a fixed ratio of one gas to another. In this case, the output of one flow controller is used as the reference voltage for the set point potentiometer of a second flow controller. The set point potentiometer then provides a control signal that is proportio

2.8. Range Changing Changing the range of a flow controller can be done in the field, but calibration is required. It is recommended however, that the unit be sent back to the factory along with the new range desired, gas and operating parameters. Consult factory for more information. 2.9.

If the command signal exceeds 5 Volts the controller will continue to increase the flow until the output matches the command signal. However, the flow output may not maintain the published accuracy values under these conditions. If the command signal is less than 1% of full scale (0.05 Volts or 4.16 m

3. Theory and Function 3.1. Overall Functional Description The 300 Series flow meters consist of a sensor, base, shunt, control valve (303/307) and electronic circuitry. The sensor is configured to measure gas flow rate from 25-10000 slm, depending on the customer’s desired overall flow rate. The shunt divides the overall gas flow such that the flow through the sensor is a precise percentage of the flow through the shunt. The flow through both the sensor and shunt is laminar. The contr

conducted from the upstream and downstream coils to the foam insulation surrounding them is assumed to be equal, based on the symmetry of the sensor construction. Since the sensor tube inlet and outlet are linked by an aluminum ambient bar, the high thermal conductivity of the bar provides a ‘thermal short’, constraining the ends of the sensor tube to be at equal surface temperature. Moreover, the tube ends and the aluminum ambient bar have intimate thermal communication with the main fl
