LIQUI-FLOW MINI LM02

Micro Fluidic Mass Flow Meter for liquids

  • Fast and accurate measuring signal
  • Insensitive to mounting position
  • Very small internal volume (0,88 mm3, smaller on request)
  • Analog or digital (RS232/RS485) output
  • High pressure rating 1000 bar (15000 psi), higher on request

Liquid Mass Flow Meters for Ultra Low Flow Rates

Bronkhorst® model LM02 Liquid Flow Meters (LFMs) are suited for precise measurement of flow ranges from 1,5...75 mg/h (0,025...1,25 μl/min) up to 12...600 mg/h, based on water. The microfluidic instruments can be applied for high pressure applications up to 1000 bar (higher on request). The LFM consists of a straight duplex steel sensor tube (W1.4462) with an internal volume of less than 1 mm3 which operates on the thermal measuring principle.

Due to its high pressure rating (up to 1000 bar; higher on request) the LIQUI-FLOW™ mini flowmeter is suited to HPLC systems. The instrument is equipped with a microprocessor-based printed circuit board, offering high accuracy and excellent temperature stability. The RJ45 connection is used for power supply and for both analog and digital (RS232/RS485) communication.
