Note: Positiv flow direction is defined as proceeding from port 1 (P1) to port 2 (P2) and
results in positive output (pin 6 > pin 2). Negative flow direction is defined conversely
and results in negative output (pin 6 < pin 2).

Gas correction factors are referenced to nitrogen (N2) as calibration gas type. Approximate gas correction factors are provided
as guidelines only. Individual gas types may perform differently at temperature extremes and varying flow rates.
8
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
9
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.
