IS-Max: Intrinsically Safe Mass Flow Meters for Explosive Environments
Intrinsically safe mass flow meters
Unprecedented insights into your process
Gain a richness of variables reporting that’s unmatched in hazardous applications. The IS-Max series of gas meters come with ATEX/IECEx certifications.
- Accuracy of flow from ±(0.4% of reading and 0.2% of full scale) to ±(0.8% of reading and 0.2% of full scale)
- 98-129 field-selectable gas calibrations
- Easy-to-read display makes it easy to verify operating conditions in the field and on installation
- Digital MODBUS or ASCII, or analog communications

Certifications
Our ATEX/IECEx Intrinsically Safe IS-Max and IS-Pro devices are approved for use in potentially explosive environments:
Included with each device
Multivariate process measurements: Measure Volumetric flow, Mass flow, Absolute pressure, Gauge pressure, Barometric pressure, Temperature, Relative humidity, or Dew point*
-
- Gas Select™: “98 user-selectable gases stored internally. Each gas optimized to match NIST’s REFPROP 10 gas property calculations across the operating temperature and pressure ranges for highest accuracy. For ISMCS devices, there are 128 user-selectable gases stored internally. “
- COMPOSER™: 20 user-definable gas mixes. Each mix may have up to 5 gases with 0.01% composition resolution.
- Monochrome backlit LCD with integrated touchpad: Easily read measurements using the backlit display and control configurations with the user-friendly integrated touchpad.
- User-adjustable standard temperature and pressure (STP) conditions: Quickly change reference conditions without the need for recalibration.
- Configurable flow and pressure averaging: Adjust averaging from 1-255 ms to take control over how instantaneous or smooth measurements will be.
