MCS-Series Controller

Product catalog summary
Overview: Alicat Scientific's MS-Series digital mass flow meters and MCS-Series mass flow controllers are designed for accurate measurement and control of mass flow, volumetric flow, pressure, and temperature of corrosive gases such as NH3, H2S, and SiH4. They feature a patented laminar differential pressure measurement technology for linear results across a wide flow range, with NIST-traceable calibration and a lifetime warranty.
Specifications: The devices offer a full-scale mass flow rate range from 0-0.5 sccm to 0-3000 slpm, with accuracy at calibration conditions of ± (0.8% of Reading + 0.2% of Full Scale) and high accuracy options available for certain ranges. They have a repeatability of ± 0.2% Full Scale and a typical response time of 100 ms.
Features: The MS/MCS-Series includes stainless steel flow bodies, corrosion-resistant elastomers, and 34 to 36 user-selectable gas calibrations. They support both analog and RS-232 digital communications, with options for Class 1, Div 2 ATEX/CSA ratings and battery operation. The devices are equipped with large displays and touchpads for user interface.
Applications: These devices are ideal for processes involving corrosive gases, such as semiconductor and solar PV manufacturing. They offer multi-variable measurement and control functionality, with a low 100:1 turndown ratio, replacing multiple application-specific devices.
Technical Data: The controllers operate within a temperature range of −10 to +50 ºCelsius and a maximum pressure of 145 psig. They feature various electrical connection options and are compatible with a wide range of fittings. The devices are built for use with aggressive gases and can be calibrated for complex gas mixtures.

MCS-Series Controller-1

MS/MCS Series Mass Flow Measurement and Control for Corrosive Gases alicat.com/msmcs Series Overview Alicat Scientific MS-Series digital mass flow meters accurately and rapidly measure the mass flow rate, volumetric flow rate, pressure and temperature of corrosive process gases such as NH3, H2S and SiH4. MCS-Series mass flow controllers further provide precise control of mass flow, volumetric flow and pressure via customized high-speed proportional control valves. At the heart of Alicat’s MS/MCS-Series mass flow meters and controllers is a patented, internally compensated, laminar differential pressure measurement technology that yields linear results over a very wide flow range. This produces volumetric and mass flow data that is fully compensated for changes in pressure and temperature and corrected for the user’s STP. Alicat backs MS/MCS-Series mass flow meters and controllers with NIST-traceable calibration, free technical phone support and a lifetime warranty. Alicat MS/MCS-Series mass flow meters and controllers feature stainless steel flow bodies, corrosionresistant elastomers and 34 to 36 user-selectable gas calibrations. Large integrated displays with touchpads provide a user interface for gas selection, setpoint control and PID valve tuning. The MS/ MCS Series comes standard with both analog and RS-232 digital communications. Extensive product customizations are available, including Class 1, Div 2 ATEX/CSA ratings for use in hazardous environments and battery operation for meters (MBS Series). Applications Alicat Scientific MS/MCS-Series digital mass flow meters and controllers are best suited to processes that require the use of corrosive gases, such as semiconductor and solar PV manufacturing. Multi-variable measurement and control functionality, multiple gas calibrations and a low 100:1 turndown ratio allow a single MS/MCS-Series meter or controller to replace several application-specific devices. Available 0.4% accuracy, 0.2% full-scale repeatability and <100 ms control response times optimize gas control processes. The MS/MCS Series is available in full-scale mass flow rates from 0-0.5 sccm to 0-3000 slpm.
