HOW TO ORDER - FM70 PART NUMBER MATRIX


What is the flow when using gases other than air but the scale is in SCFH of air? The instruction manual for the FM70 contains a conversion chart showing the multiplier to use for common gases. As an example, when used in argon service, any reading you see on the flowmeter should be multiplied by .85 to get the actual flow in SCFH argon.		FM70	—	Range (in SCFH Air)		CAUTION! Western's FM70 Purge flowmeter panels are designed to provide satisfactory long term service when used with air, nitrogen, carbon dioxide, argon, and other inert gases. Oxygen and other oxidizers such as chlorine and very small molecules such as hydrogen should definitely not be used.
