DATA SHEET Mass Flow Controllers Metal Sealed, Digital, MultiFlo™️ Thermal Mass Flow Meters & Controllers for Gases Brooks® GF80 thermal mass flow controllers (MFCs) and thermal mass flow meters (MFMs) achieve unprecedented performance, reliability, and flexibility in many gas flow measurement and control applications. At the heart of the GF80 is Brooks’ patented 4th generation MultiFloTM capable device. MultiFlo overcomes a long-standing limitation of many thermal MFCs – when changing gas types, a simple correction factor, such as the ratio of heat capacities between the calibration gas and new gas, cannot account for accuracy-robbing viscosity and density differences. The Brooks MultiFlo database is built on thousands of native gas runs to establish correction functions that account for both thermal and physical differences among gases making the GF80 Series among the most accurate and flexible MFCs/MFMs available today. The Brooks GF80 Series is the perfect choice for customers who use thermal mass flow controllers or thermal mass flow meters on a variety of gases, who need to change gas type frequently, or who need to re-range while preserving gas measurement and control accuracy. Some examples: • OEMs will reduce the number of gas and range-specific MFCs that they inventory • Solar, biotech, CVD, plasma, glass, web coating, nanotechnology, vacuum processing and similar large users of mass flow meters and mass flow controllers will greatly reduce their gas- and range-specific spares inventory • R&D, research, and laboratory users can quickly change experiment conditions and achieve much better actual process gas accuracy vs. traditional mass flow devices With a range of digital and analog I/O options available, GF80 represents an extremely powerful, yet easy, upgrade for existing MFCs or MFMs. View GF80 Product Page

Features and Benefits MultiFlo™ Gas and Range Configurability A major advancement over traditional single point gas conversion factors, Brooks MultiFlo technology delivers up to a three-times improvement in process gas accuracy. This is achieved through advanced gas modeling plus extensive actual gas testing protocols that provide extremely accurate compensation. MultiFlo also allows the device to be quickly and easily configured for another gas and/or flow range without sacrificing accuracy or range-ability. Selecting a new gas automatically creates a new calibration curve, establishes...
