Model 50D

McMillan Model 50D Thermal Mass FLO-METERS are capable of measuring virtually any clean,dry gas as low as 0-20 sccm or as high as 0-500 Lpm! Repeatable results are achieved using a patented thermal mass flow sensor design. This proven design minimizes zero drift while maintaining fast response and linear outputs.

Because of the compact size and economical cost of these products, the Model 50D Series FLO-METERS are suitable for a wide variety of industrial, commercial, laboratory and O.E.M. applications.

An integrated display reports flow in either mL/minute or L/minute. An analog output is also provided for remote data logging.

A cable assembly or power adapter is required for operation.
