Product catalog summary
Overview
Alicat Scientific's MS-Series digital mass flow meters and MCS-Series mass flow controllers are designed for accurate and rapid measurement and control of mass flow rate, volumetric flow rate, pressure, and temperature of corrosive gases such as NH3, H2S, and SiH4. These devices utilize a patented laminar differential pressure measurement technology for linear results across a wide flow range, ensuring data compensation for pressure and temperature changes.

Specifications
The MS/MCS-Series features stainless steel flow bodies, corrosion-resistant elastomers, and 34 to 36 user-selectable gas calibrations. They include large integrated displays with touchpads for user interface, setpoint control, and PID valve tuning. Communication options include both analog and RS-232 digital communications. Customizations are available, including ATEX/CSA ratings for hazardous environments and battery operation for meters.

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, multiple gas calibrations, and a low 100:1 turndown ratio, allowing them to replace several application-specific devices. They provide 0.4% accuracy, 0.2% full-scale repeatability, and <100 ms control response times.

Technical Data
The MS-Series covers full-scale mass flow rates from 0-0.5 sccm to 0-3000 slpm. Performance specifications include accuracy at calibration conditions of ± (0.8% of Reading + 0.2% of Full Scale), with a high accuracy option available for certain ranges. The devices have a typical response time of 10 ms and a warm-up time of less than 1 second.

Communication and Power
The devices feature monochrome LCD or color TFT displays with integrated touchpads. They support RS-232, RS-485, and PROFIBUS digital output signals, as well as various analog output options. Electrical connections include 8 Pin Mini-DIN, 9-pin D-sub, 15-pin D-sub, and 6 pin locking, with a supply voltage range of 7 to 30 Vdc.

Operating Conditions
The MS-Series operates under mass reference conditions of 25ºC & 14.696 psia, with an operating temperature range of −10 to +50 ºCelsius and a maximum pressure of 145 psig. The devices are IP40 rated and made from materials like 316LSS and FFKM.

Features
The MS-Series includes 36 Gas Select™ with on-board user-selectable gas calibrations for a wide range of gases. They are compatible with aggressive gases and can be calibrated for complex gas mixtures involving up to eight constituents.

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.
