GF80 Series Metal Sealed Thermal Mass Flow Controller/Meter
Brand: Brooks InstrumentFor many industrial and semiconductor processes, both performance and cost efficiency are crucial.
The GF80 Series metal sealed mass flow controllers and meters deliver both: Engineered using the same fast response sensor and patented 4th generation MultiFlo™ technology as our best-selling GF100 series, it’s the right choice for operations that need high performance at a value price point.
Moving to a metal sealed MFC brings the full benefit of MultiFloTM multi-gas/multi-range capability since there are no limitations in gases that can be used, enhanced purity of the gas due to elimination of oxygen permeation through elastomers, and a reduction in maintenance since metal seals will last indefinitely.
Features- Long-term zero stability of < ±0.5% full scale per year
- <1 second settling times
- Full-scale flow rates up to 300 slpm
- All-metal seal flow path - 16µ inch Ra surface finish
- Corrosion-resistant Hastelloy® sensor can operate at lower temperatures for gases prone to thermal decomposition
- Programmable MultiFloTM capability - one device, thousands of gas types and range combinations without removing the MFC from the gas line or compromising accuracy
- Best-in-class temperature coefficient specification through active temperature compensation
- Embedded self-test routines and independent diagnostic/service port
- Slimline body with VCR fittings
- DeviceNetTM, Profibus®, RS-485 and analog interfaces
Benefits
- Fast <1 second flow settling time eliminates wasted gas and process variability
- No elastomer seals that can have oxygen permeation, requiring replacement over time
- MultiFloTM simplifies and streamlines changing process gases - no more removing and calibrating MFCs
- New gases and/or ranges can be set in under 60 seconds
- Measurement accuracy not affected by temperature variations
- Convenient access to diagnostics port for maximum uptime
- Compact size eases integration into tight machine spaces; excellent choice for retrofits
- Multi-protocol communication interface simplifies integration into existing systems
