AWM5101VN - 

The AWM5000 Series Microbridge Mass Airflow Sensors feature a Venturi type flow housing. They measure flow as high as 20 standard liters per minute (SLPM) while inducing a maximum pressure drop of 2.25" H2O.The microbridge chip is in direct contact with the flow stream, greatly reducing the possibility of error due to orifice or bypass channel clogging.

The rugged plastic package has been designed to withstand common mode pressures up to 50 psi, and the small sensing element allows 100 g of shock without compromising performance. The included "AMP" compatible connector provides realiable connection in demanding applications.

Each AWM5000 sensor contains circuitry which performs amplification, linearization, temperature compesnsation, and gas calibration. A 1 to 5 VDC linear output is possible for all listins regardless of flow range (5, 10, 15, or 20 SLPM) or calibration gas (nitrogen, carbon dioxide, nitrious oxide, or argon). All calibration is performed by active laser.
