WHAT IS A THERMAL MASS FLOW METER?  It is a Meter that directly measures the Gas Mass Flow based on the principle of conductive and convective heat transfer

WHAT DO THE SENSORS CONSIST OF?  The Sensors are RTDs, which are Resistance Temperature Detectors  They consist of highly stable reference-grade platinum windings clad in 316SS  One of the RTDs is self-heated by the circuitry and serves as the Flow Sensor  The other RTD acts as a Reference Sensor. Essentially it is used for temperature compensation

HOW DOES IT WORK?  The Sage proprietary Sensor Drive Circuitry maintains a constant overheat (ΔT) between the Flow Sensor and the Reference Sensor  As gas flows by the heated sensor (Flow Sensor), the molecules of flowing gas carry heat away from this sensor, and the sensor cools down as it loses energy  The circuit will automatically (within 1 second) replace this lost energy by heating up the flow sensor so the overheat temperature is restored  The current required to maintain this overheat represents the Mass Flow signal

WHY THERMAL MFMs over OTHER TECHNOLOGIES?

WHY THERMAL?  DIRECT MASS FLOW –No need for separate T or P transmitters  RANGEABILITY AND SENSITIVITY –Turndown of 100 to 1 –Resolution as much as 1000 to 1 (for Sage) –Sage can easily detect even 5 SFPM  LOW PRESSURE DROP –Will not impede the flow or waste energy  NO MOVING PARTS –Eliminates costly bearing replacements, and prevents undetected accuracy shifts  EASE OF INSTALLATION –Insertion Style for pipes 1” and up

ADDITIONAL BENEFITS (Pressure Independence) 15 Data Points at 110 psig (BP), than same output, even at 0 psig (No Back Pressure)

THERMAL MFM ADVANTAGES (OVER OTHER SPECIFIC TECHNOLOGIES)  Temperature and Pressure measurement needed on Vortex, Turbine, Positive Displacement, Orifice, etc. to obtain Mass Flow  Coriolis expensive and has large head loss  All above have limited turn-down (poor low-end sensitivity) and have substantial pressure drop  Turbine and Positive Displacement have moving parts (may need frequent maintenance)  Insertion Style meters not available on above technologies (except on some Vortex models)

SAGE METERING A PIONEER IN TECHNOLOGY DEVELOPMENT  Brought to Market the Hybrid Digitally- Driven bridge (vs Wheatstone bridge)  Introduced In-Situ Calibration Verification at No Flow (0 SCFM)  First Graphic Display in TMFM Industry  Lead Length Compensation on Remote Style (up to 1000 Ft)

SAGE METERING TECHNOLOGY BENEFITS  Hybrid-Digital eliminates analog drift  Provides a reproducible zero point  Maintain higher resolution and greater rangeability  Improved temperature compensation (digital drive eliminates self-heating)  Match overheat to application

IN-SITU CALIBRATION CHECK & DEMO – 3 EASY STEPS Loosen, Lift, Look

IN-SITU CALIBRATION CHECK FOR SAGE INSERTION THERMAL MFMs 3-Easy Steps

IN-SITU CALIBRATION CHECK FOR SAGE Step 1 – “Loosen”

IN-SITU CALIBRATION CHECK FOR SAGE Step 2 – “Lift”

IN-SITU CALIBRATION CHECK FOR SAGE Step 3 – “Look”

IN-SITU CALIBRATION EXPLANATION   The reason sage can perform the In-Situ Calibration Check, is due to the meter’s extraordinary reproducibility, even at a “No Flow” (0 SCFM) condition   This reproducibility is a direct result of having developed a hybrid-digital method of driving the sensors vs the drift prone Wheatstone bridge   Essentially, the customer can recreate an identical data point to that taken at Sage, at the one condition they can accurately reproduce – “No Flow” (0 SCFM)   See Section 4 in Binder for further information
