Manual: 151-082010 300-302 Series Page 4 of 31 1. General Information The Teledyne Hastings HFM-300 is used to measure mass flow rat es in gases. In addition to flow rate measurement, the HFC-302 include s a proportional valve to accu rately control gas flow. The Hastin gs mass flow meter (HFM-300) and controller (HFC-302), hereafter referred to as[...]
