  • Page 14: Dual Calibration

    The different FLOW UNIT models are calibrated to provide an accurate reading when used with the corresponding fluid, water or isopropyl alcohol. For the FLOW UNIT model XS, only one single calibration for water is available. For the FLOW UNIT models S/M+/L+, two calibrations are available: Water and Isopropyl alcohol.
  • Page 15 The list of materials needed to reproduce the experiment is given Make a table that contains the time for each measurement, the flow- below: rate of the pump and the data measured by the FLOW UNIT. One (1)FLOW EZ™ A minimum of 3 measurements is recommended for each flow-rate.

    4.68 so that the measurement of the sensor corresponds to the actual flow-rate for HFE. FLOW UNIT models are highly sensitive and should be properly cleaned to always maintain high performance. With proper This custom calibration can be directly implemented on OxyGEN care and maintenance, the Flow Units can last many years.
  • Page 17 For Flow Unit XS, S and M, fluids have to be compatible with PEEK & If possible, dedicate a separate sensor for each different liquid to be Quartz glass.
  • Page 18 If uncertain about your application and how to clean the flow sensor, damage the sensor. please contact FLUIGENT for additional support at support@fluigent. com. Strong acids and bases should also not be used to clean the sensor. Acids can sometimes be used in low concentration and at low temperatures.
