FF-Sxxx

Preconfigured Standard (PS) Mass Flow Controllers

FLEXI-FLOW Compact Preconfigured Standard (PS) Mass Flow Controllers are suited for accurate measurement and control of flow ranges between 0…500 ml_n/min and 0…20 l_n/min at operating pressures between vacuum and 17 bar(a). The instrument combines a swift and stable thermal mass flow sensor based on capillary MEMS technology with a precise and proven by-pass construction. Due to the unique, internationally patented TCS Technology (Through Chip Sensor), accurate mass flow measurement, virtual independent of variations in temperature and line pressure is established. In combination with integrated temperature and up- and downstream pressure sensors, the embedded database for 22 gases allows accurate, on-board conversion. The multi-parameter instruments provide the user with useful process information.

FLEXI-FLOW Compact Preconfigured Standard (PS) Mass Flow Controllers feature a turndown of 1:50, flow control + temperature output). They are available in 4 flow ranges (FS, based on N₂):

Type FF-S500 - 500 ml_n/min
Type FF-S2K0 - 2 l_n/min
Type FF-S5K0 - 5 l_n/min
Type FF-S20K - 20 l_n/min
