1.0 Introduction
Restek's ProFLOW 6000 Flowmeter is specifically designed for use with gas chromatography (GC) systems. The probe is applied directly to the
gas flow stream and the measured flow rate is presented on the LCD screen. Units of flow are measured in mL/min.
This unit provides continuous real-time measurements of gas streams ranging from 0.50 mL/min to 500 mL/min. Because the technology uses
volumetric flow measurement, the unit is compatible with all laboratory gases.
CAUTION: Do NOT exceed maximum operating flow rates.
Recalibration may be required if the unit has been
subjected to extreme flow rates.
Always use appropriate laboratory safety practices when
operating this device. Wear laboratory safety goggles when
operating this unit.

NOTE: There are no serviceable parts in this unit. Opening the
device—other than to change the batteries—or tampering with the
internal parts will void the factory warranty.
NOTE: To ensure accurate measurements and effective clearance of
the flow gas from the unit, DO NOT obstruct the vent holes on the
back of the unit.
NOTE: Modifying the length of tubing can cause a shift in calibration.
