Mass Flow Controllers
Controllers can have integrated or separate control valves, suitable for various applications, including high flow rates and low differential pressure, offering fast and smooth control.

General Features
Key features include fast response, high accuracy, independence from pressure and temperature, and pressure ratings up to 400 bar. Digital features include fieldbus interfaces and Multi-Gas/Multi-Range functionality.

Technical Specifications
Specifications include accuracy, repeatability, settling time, control stability, operating temperature, and pressure sensitivity. Devices are constructed from stainless steel with various seal options and support multiple electrical connections.

Models and Flow Ranges
The document lists models with specific flow ranges, pressure ratings, and applications.

Thermal Mass Flow Measuring Principle
This principle uses a sensor with a stainless steel capillary tube and resistance thermometer elements, where the temperature difference is proportional to the mass flow.

Specifications
Detailed specifications for models like F-111B, F-201CV, and others are provided, including flow ranges and pressure ratings.

Procedures
Procedures for using mass flow controllers in applications such as burner control and gas mixing are outlined, highlighting the advantages over conventional systems.

Standards and Recommendations
Optional Multi Gas/Multi Range features must be requested when ordering. Accuracy standards are based on actual calibration, with guidelines for calculating conversion factors for unlisted gases.

Key Data from Tables
Tables include dimensions and weights for models, model number identification, and details on pressure ratings and communication options.

Applications
The series is used in semiconductor processing, environmental measurements, and more, showcasing its adaptability.

Notes
Multi Gas/Multi Range functionality is limited to 10 bar, with a pressure rating up to 100 bar. The document provides guidelines for calculating ranges for unlisted gases.

EL-FLOW Select-6

Mass Flow Meter Model Burner control using Mass Flow Controllers brings many advantages compared to conventional systems, where flow is adjusted through needle valves. When burner orifices get clogged or when gas supply pressure varies, an MFC will automatically adapt to the changed conditions. For the control of relatively large flows with low differential pressure, which is typical for natural gas or CH4, Bronkhorst offers mass flow meters with separate pressure compensated bellows valves. Mass Flow Controller Model MFC’s are often used to make precise and stable mixtures of two or more gases....
