Project Issues:

• Met with Charlene Moore from Quality First (other contact - Gary Henry)
• Mass Flowmeters:
• Model 3150:  Benteler uses this model for most applications
• Measures up to 5 L volume
• Would use a 2 L flowmeter
• 4 week delivery (maybe 3 weeks)
• $7,325
• Model 240:  Benteler has also used theis model on occasion
• Includes additional I/O (10 inputs/6 outputs)
• Tylan mass flow transducers
• Increased cycle time
• $4,975
• May require modifications to internal Pneumatic valves
• May require us to modify basic operations
• Will abort process if:
• Pressure established is too high
• The flowmeter cannot reach pressure (due to a huge hole, such as one end not being sealed)
• Pneumatic box:  (Build our own measuring device/display)
• $3,450 (possibly $2800)
