Version AFM
The Ankersmid flowmeters series AFM are consisting of a vertical, internal conical glass tube widening towards the top in which a float can move freely up- and downwards. With the integrated needle valve the flow rate can be adjusted. The sample gas flows upwards through the tube and lifts the float until a radial clearance occurs between the tube wall and the float so that forces affecting the body are in equilibrium. Every position of the float corresponds to a certain flow which can be read on a calibrated scale.

Additional information
The measuring tube is sealed within the head and bottom part with o-rings.
The flow meter is fitted with a fine adjustment valve in the inlet for precise flow value setting.

The Ankersmid AFM flow meters are consisting of a vertical, internally conical glass tube widening towards the top in which a float can move freely upwards and downwards. A “front panel“ of a maximum 4 mm thickness with two appropriate mounting bore holes serves as base body for attaching the head and the bottom part.

Application
The AFM flow meter for front and panel mounting are used for flow control of gas media in analysis devices and systems.
