Description

The AFM3000 mass flow meter utilizes Aosong’s advanced thermal sensor technology, combining a MEMS thermal sensor chip with a high-performance 24-bit ADC and CMOS microprocessor. This integrated design enables precise measurement of air, oxygen, and other non-corrosive gases with exceptionally fast signal processing and bidirectional capability.

Engineered specifically for low-pressure-drop applications, its optimized flow channel geometry minimizes resistance, making it extremely suitable for medical ventilator systems, respiratory devices, and process automation where maintaining system pressure is critical. The sensor operates from a 4.75 to 5.5 VDC supply, providing linearized and compensated digital output via I2C communication.

Key Features

  • High-precision thermal mass flow sensing principle for direct gas mass measurement.
  • Integrated 24-bit ADC and signal conditioning microprocessor for digital output.
  • Excellent long-term stability with low zero drift over the operating lifetime.
  • Robust construction suitable for medical-grade and industrial process control environments.
  • Very fast update time enables real-time flow monitoring and control.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the operating voltage range for the AFM3000 flow meter?

The AFM3000 requires a supply voltage between 4.75 and 5.5 VDC. It is designed for standard 5V logic systems, making it compatible with most microcontrollers, Arduino boards, Raspberry Pi (with level shifting), and industrial PLCs providing a stable 5V power rail.

How do I communicate with the AFM3000 sensor?

The sensor features a digital I2C communication interface. You will need to connect the SDA (data) and SCL (clock) lines to your host controller, along with power and ground. The sensor provides fully calibrated and temperature-compensated flow data directly over this two-wire serial protocol.

What gases can the AFM3000 measure?

The AFM3000 is calibrated for and compatible with air, nitrogen (N2), oxygen (O2), and other non-corrosive, non-aggressive gases. It is not suitable for corrosive, combustible, or moisture-saturated gases, as these can damage the internal thermal MEMS sensing element.

What is the significance of the 'low pressure drop' feature?

The sensor's flow channel is specially designed to minimize resistance to gas flow. This is critical in applications like medical ventilation, where maintaining patient airway pressure is essential. The low pressure drop ensures the sensor itself does not significantly impede the system it is measuring.

Is the sensor output calibrated and temperature compensated?

Yes, the AFM3000 is fully factory calibrated and features internal temperature compensation. The integrated 24-bit ADC and microprocessor linearize the signal from the thermal sensor chip, providing a stable, accurate digital reading directly in SLM (Standard Liters per Minute) without requiring user calibration.
