IN-SITU CALIBRATION CAPABILITYIN-SITU CALIBRATION CAPABILITY All Sage Thermal Mass Flow Meters feature the ability

for the customer to verify the meter’s accuracy, as long as a “No Flow” (0 SCFM) condition can be created

– This is totally unique to Sage– For years, our Thermal Competitors have required

expensive annual factory recalibrations

With the Insertion Style Flow Meter, and an SVA05 Isolation Valve Assembly mounting accessory, creating a “No Flow” condition is easy

– This simple 3-Step procedure can be done In-Situ and only takes a few minutes

– It assures that the meter still retains the original NIST Calibration, and verifies that the meter hasn’t drifted or shifted, and confirms that the sensor is clean

IN-SITU CALIBRATION EXPLANATIONIN-SITU CALIBRATION EXPLANATION

The reason Sage can perform the In-Situ Calibration Check, is due to the Meter’s extraordinary reproducibility, even at a “No Flow” (0 SCFM) condition

This reproducibility is a direct result of having developed a Digital method of driving the sensors vs the drift-prone “Wheatstone Bridge”

Essentially, the customer can recreate an identical data point to that taken at Sage, at the one condition they can accurately reproduce – “No Flow” (0 SCFM)

Page 58: SAGE METERING, INC. THERMAL MASS FLOW METERS FOR MEASURING GAS FLOW.

IN-SITU CALIBRATION mw COMPARISONIN-SITU CALIBRATION mw COMPARISON

The customer simply compares the observed milliwatts (mw) on the Prime display to the Factory’s original data point (noted on the Flow Meter’s Certificate of Conformance or the Meter’s tag). In fact, since the Flow Meter’s raw calibration data is linearized with a 5th order polynomial, that is stored digitally, any reproducible data point is sufficient to verify that the original data is intact, but only a “No Flow” (0 SCFM) data point can be truly generated by a customer in the field
