Low pressure drop mass flow controllers are ideal for systems with low source pressure. The instruments produce as little as 0.07 PSID pressure loss.
- 0.01-100 % measurement range (10,000:1 turndown)
- 98 pre-loaded gas calibrations: switch without losing accuracy
- Measures mass flow, volumetric flow, temperature, and pressure
- Laminar differential pressure (DP) mass flow measurement technology
- Users can measure and regulate mass flow without signifant loss in downstream pressure using a low-pressure drop mass flow controller
- Instant accuracy, with no warm-up
- Limited Lifetime Warranty
- Configurations available for bidirectional control of flow
