Kofloc 8500MM Mass Flowmeter

The Kofloc Model 8500MM Mass Flowmeter is a sophisticated digital instrument designed for the precise measurement of gas mass flow. It features a built-in 7-segment LED display that provides real-time flow data without the need for external readout units. With its dual analog and digital communication capabilities (RS232C/RS485), the 8500MM is engineered for seamless integration into complex data acquisition systems and smart factories.

Description

The Kofloc 8500MM represents a significant leap forward in digital flow sensing. It utilizes a high-stability thermal sensor that is isolated from the gas stream, making it suitable for a wide range of dry, non-corrosive gases—including flammable gases—since there are no exposed heating elements.

One of its most user-friendly features is the rotatable display unit, allowing for easy reading regardless of whether the device is mounted horizontally or vertically. Internally, a 14-bit A/D converter ensures high-resolution data processing, providing an accuracy of up to $\pm$1.0% F.S. It also includes an integrated flow totalizer (totalizing up to 12 digits), making it perfect for monitoring total gas consumption over time.

The natural environment is preserved through the balance of solids, liquids and gases that exist on the earth. However, human civilization has caused pollution that has greatly damaged our environment. The task of the present generation is to restore our environment to its natural healthy state. And this is also the greatest challenge for 21st century science and technology.

KOFLOC's corporate motto is "A Scientific Approach for Fluids." In other words, we create products that scientifically measure and control the balance of liquids and gases. We trust that through our work we are making a contribution to the regeneration of the environment and to the establishment of a prosperous society.

Features

  • Integrated Digital Display: 4-digit LED for instantaneous flow and 12-digit internal totalizer.
  • Dual Communication: Standard RS232C or RS485 digital interface alongside 0–5V or 4–20mA analog signals.
  • Multi-Directional Display: The screen can be rotated to match the mounting orientation for better ergonomics.
  • High Accuracy: Precision calibrated to $pm$1.0% F.S. (for flows up to 5 SLM) or $pm$1.5% F.S. (for larger flows).
  • Pattern Setting: Allows for up to 5 different calibration/setting patterns to be stored internally.
  • Noise Resistance: Dramatically improved shielding to prevent signal interference in busy industrial environments.
