In 2003, Sage began using the first hybrid digital bridge circuit in a thermal mass flowmeter, replacing the traditional Wheatstone bridge. This technological breakthrough led to major improvements in the flowmeter’s measurement performance and long-term repeatability.
Sage then introduced In-Situ calibration verification. Because users can verify that the flow meter remains in calibration, the meter can now be used in environmental applications for greenhouse gas reporting according to EPA regulations and measuring carbon credits according to carbon credit protocols. In addition, with the option of on-site calibration verification, the meter does not have to be removed from the line and sent to a calibration center for annual calibrations, saving users time and money.
With calibration verification, Sage has also found a way to verify that the sensor is clean and working within specification.
Sage Metering has been at the forefront of innovation as an industry pioneer for the last 20 years. Over the years, Sage has won three innovation awards. These awards were for innovations such as In-Situ calibration, a portable thermal mass flowmeter and the ability to produce a flowmeter with multiple gas calibrations.
