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 the Hastings 300 s[...]

300-302 Series Page 13 of 31 On the controller card there is a jumper that sets whether the control loop controls mass flow or an external process variable. See Figure 2.7. If the jumper is over the top tw o pins, the loop controls mass flow. If the jumper is over the bottom two p ins, the loop controls an exte rnal process variable. This process v[...]

300-302 Series Page 16 of 31 can be dissipated by radiation, c onduction, or convection. The r adiation term is negligible due to the low temperatures used by the sensor, and because th e sensor construction preferentially favors the conductive and convective heat tr ansfer modes. The thermal energy of e ach heater will then be dissipated by conduc[...]
