Page 5: Introduction
We, at ONICON Incorporated, would like to thank you for purchasing our quality American made F-5100 Series Thermal Mass Flow Meter. As our valued customer, our commitment to you is to provide fast reliable service, while continuing to offer you quality products to meet your growing flow measurement needs. -
Page 6: Standard Features And Specifications
STANDARD FEATURES AND SPECIFICATIONS CALIBRATION Every ONICON thermal mass flow meter is wet calibrated in a flow laboratory against standards that are directly traceable to N.I.S.T. A certificate of calibration accompanies every meter. Each meter is calibrated for use with a specific gas. -
Page 7: Additional Required Hardware
ADDITIONAL REQUIRED HARDWARE All ONICON insertion thermal mass meters can be installed and removed via a ¾” or larger full port ball valve without disrupting flow. The terms “Standard” and “Hot Tap” refer to the installation method only. Standard Installation: Occurs during new construction or Compression Fitting scheduled shutdown. -

Page 13: Mechanical Installation
Flow CAUTION ONICON insertion style flow meters must be installed through a valve assembly. Failure to do so negates the ability to remove the meter without disrupting flow. It will also result in an excessive amount of stem protruding from the pipe. Excessive stem lengths unnecessarily expose the meter to incidental damage. - Page 14 InSTALLATIOn KIT COMPOnEnTS ¾” ¾” ¾” ¾” ½” ½” NPT BRANCH CLOSE FULL PORT REDUCER COMPRESSION OUTLET NIPPLE BALL VALVE BUSHING FITTING Compression Fitting ⅝” MINIMUM DIA ACCESS HOLE 50 PSIG Maximum Pressure (Exploded view) INSTALLATION KIT COMPONENTS ¾” WELD-ON ¾”...

Page 15: Installing The Flow Meter
INSTALLING THE FLOW METER WARNING SYSTEM MAY BE UNDER HIGH PRESSURE. When inserting, removing or adjusting the meter position, be sure to hold the enclosure firmly by hand before SLOWLY loosening the compression fitting. Failure to do this will allow the pressure to suddenly and rapidly force the meter from the pipe causing serious injury. - Page 16 Determining the Insertion Depth The dimension used to set the insertion depth is the “X” dimension. This dimension is printed on the laminated tag attached to the meter and can be found in the tables below. Schedule 40 Pipe Nominal O.D.
- Page 17 CAUTION The compression fitting must be tightened as described in the following procedure. Failure to do will likely result in fluid leaks and/or permanent damage to the flow meter stem. Tightening the Compression Fitting Insert the meter as described above. Tighten the nut until the stem will not turn by hand or move axially in the fitting.

Page 18: Removing The Flow Meter
REMOVING THE FLOW METER WARNING SYSTEM MAY BE UNDER HIGH PRESSURE. When removing the flow meter, be sure to grasp the electronics enclosure firmly by hand before slowly loosening the compression fitting. Failure to do this will allow the pressure in the pipe to suddenly and rapidly force the meter from the pipe causing serious injury. -

- Page 29 SETTING INSERTION DEPTH WITH GAGE WARNING SYSTEM MAY BE UNDER HIGH PRESSURE. When inserting, removing or adjusting the meter position, be sure to hold the enclosure firmly by hand before SLOWLY loosening the compression fitting. Failure to do this will allow the pressure to suddenly and rapidly force the LOW PRESSURE HIGH PRESSURE meter from the pipe causing serious injury.
- Page 30 The zero flow calibration test provides a simple, yet effective, method for periodic field validation of the factory calibration. Prior to shipment to the customer, each ONICON F-5000 series flow meter undergoes a multipoint calibration. In this process, signal levels are recorded at a series of known velocities over the specified operating range.
- Page 31 Method 2 (Used when it is not possible to stop flow in the pipe.) 1. While firmly grasping the enclosure, loosen the compression fitting at the top of the ball valve. 2. Slowly withdraw the stem until the bottom of the flats located on the sensor is just exposed.
