Thermo Fisher Scientific has announced a Thermo Scientific GFM Pro Flowmeter for continuous real-time measurement of gas flows, ensuring accurate and reproducible chromatography.
With the ability to measure positive and negative vacuum flows from 0.5 to 500ml/min and -0.5 to -500ml/min, the CE-certified probe can measure the volumetric flow of any gas with an accuracy of +/-2 per cent.
The unit also protects itself against excessively high flow rates by deploying an automatic shutoff when the measured flow exceeds 600ml/min.
With an explosion-proof rating, this probe is suitable for use with any gas, including those that are flammable or explosive.
Designed for use with gas-chromatography systems, the probe is applied directly to the gas-flow stream and the actual measured flow rate is displayed clearly on the LCD screen.
The probe can be used as a bench-top or hand-held unit and its ergonomic design and side grips provide extended durability.
Data can be easily saved and stored on a USB device for accurate monitoring of flow values over longer time periods.
The volumetric-flow measurement technology of the Thermo Scientific GFM Pro Flowmeter makes the unit compatible with all laboratory gases without the need for any prior knowledge of the gas composition.
