MC–Series: Gas Mass Flow Controllers
- Full-scale flow rates between 0.5 SCCM and 5000 SLPM for all gases (10,000 SLPM for H2)
- Monitor four variables: mass flow, volumetric flow, pressure, and temperature
- Control one of three variables: mass flow, volumetric flow, or pressure
- 98+ gas calibrations preloaded and user-selectable
- Local, analog, or digital control, including industrial protocols
Beloved by metrology departments, cherished by researchers, and depended on by systems engineers – the MC-Series does more, and does it faster.
