The Whisper™ MCW Series Low Pressure Drop Mass Flow Controllers

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
