Approximate gas correction factors are provided as guidelines only. Individual gas types may perform differently at temperature extremes and varying flow rates. 9 When sensing Hydrogen (H2) or Helium (He) it may be necessary to power the mass flow sensor using increased supply voltage: Hydrogen typ. 12 V, Helium typ. 15 V 10 Hydrogen (H2) flow measurement requires the use of a special sensor. These devices provide normal operation when sensing hydrogen flow and are designated with an "H" at the end of the order number.
