Mass Air Flow Sensor - PMF4000 Series

Product Specification

PMF4000 Series Mass Air Flow Sensor Description：

    PMF4000 features third-generation thermal flow die, benefiting from the latest innovations in microfabrication. The sensor die uses a pair of thermopiles to detect changes in temperature gradient caused by mass flow, delivering excellent signal-to-noise and repeatability. The “solid state” thermal isolation structure on the sensor die eliminates the need for surface cavity or fragile membrane used in competing technologies, making the sensor resistant to clogging and pressure shock.

    The PMF4000 series includes the analog output PMF4000V and the digital I²C output PMF4000D.

    The supported max flow rates range from 12 SLM to 300 SLM. The sensors are temperature compensated over the temperature range of 0 to 50 °C. The linearized output provides maximum flexibility and ease-of-use.

1. SLM: standard liter per minute. Standard conditions: 0 °C and 1 atmosphere.

2. V refers to the analog version of PMF4000, and D refers to the digital I2C version.

3. Maximum deviation in output from nominal over the entire calibrated flow range and temperature range. Errors include offset, full scale span,

linearity, flow hysteresis, repeatability and temperature effects over the compensated temperature range.

4. 10% to 90% rise time of the flow sensor to electrically respond to any mass flow change. May be affected by the pneumatic interface.
