Brooks Instrument’s Quantim® Series is the smallest, lowest ow Coriolis meter and
controller available on the market. With a footprint the size of a handheld organizer,
you can t this instrument into any tight space. The heart of the device is a patented
Coriolis sensor design which measures low ows independent of the uid type or process
variables. With a range of 0.001 to more than 27 kg/hr, you can measure mass or
volume ow and density or temperature all in one compact package. Quantim oers
unsurpassed accuracy and unmatched zero stability in demanding low ow applications.
Most critical processes require control as well as measurement, and Quantim oers an
optional integrally mounted, in-line control valve. No remote electronics are required as
all the transmitting and control electronics are contained within the product housing. A
remote valve conguration is also available.
Available with a variety of options and global approvals the Brooks Quantim Coriolis
mass ow meters and controllers provide unsurpassed performance, solving specic
challenges in demanding low-ow applications.
Product Description
The Quantim family of Coriolis mass ow meters and ow controllers uses a proven mass
ow measurement technology to provide direct mass ow measurement and control of
liquids and gases that has been employed in a wide variety of markets and applications
for more than 15 years. Brooks Quantim products are the smallest and lowest ow
Coriolis mass ow meters and controllers available on the market. Coriolis mass ow
devices have the option of using an integrally mounted or remote control valve in a
miniaturized conguration. They can simultaneously measure mass or volumetric ow
and uid density or temperature.

Product Description
Precision for Even the Most Delicate or Lowest-Flow Processes
Quantim’s Coriolis technology allows for precise, direct mass measurements even for very low ow processes. This technology enables
for measurement accuracies within 0.2% of the rate for stainless steel construction and 0.5% of the rate for Alloy C-22 construction.
Quantim is the lowest coriolis ow controller available. The conguration with the lowest ow capability allows for measurement
down to 0.001kg/hr, which is perfect for extremely sensitive processes and costly components in any setting.
Process Flexibility
The Coriolis Eect is the deection of moving objects with respect to a reference point, utilizing this eect allows measurement
of ow while negating the need for calibration to a specic uid or process conditions. The Coriolis technology gives Quantim its’
industry-leading accuracy, and allows the direct measurement of mass ow. This allows Quantim to transition between process uids
without the need for recalibration, assuming the uid change doesn’t fall out of specication for the valve assembly.
Material Selection for Any Application
Quantim has material options to allow the best possible match for your needs. Quantim oers both stainless steel and Hastelloy
as materials for sensor construction. This accommodates for processes with more corrosive uids, and reduces maintenance due to
corrosion of the mass ow meter/controller. Even more variety can be found in seal choices. Customers have the choice of using
Viton® uoroelastomer, Buna, Kalrez®, EPDM, and Nickel as their seals.
Enclosures to Meet Any Need
Dierent enclosure types enable equipment to be installed in any environment from an indoor non-hazardous area to an outdoor
explosion risk area. Quantim is available in four dierent enclosure types. The IP40 is a basic enclosure, desired for most enclosed
environments. IP66 is weather/waterproof, as well as Class 1, Division 2, Zone 2 certied for hazardous locations. The IP66XP is
Division 1, Zone 1 certied for explosive environments. No matter the environment, Quantim can be tailored to t your needs.

Product Applications
Catalyst Research
The Quantim coriolis mass ow controllers have been selected
by many companies participating in catalyst research due
to the precise measurement requirements for accurately
calculated conversion rate and selectivity, which allows for
successful scaling up of processes. Quantim is preferred due
to its exceptional precision, wide dynamic range, and super
stability. The coriolis technology within Quantim makes them
extremely well suited for critical measurements where the
composition or thermal properties of feeds vary. It is also
available for extremely high pressure service, with appropriate
area classications, and wetted materials.
Vacuum Process
Brooks oers many exceptionally performing products for CVD,
ALD, etch, diusion, and other vacuum operations.
The Quantim coriolis mass ow controller provides precision,
accuracy, and repeatability for liquid precursor applications.
Precision Coating
Many coating processes use liquids that are sprayed onto
substrates. The liquid delivery rate to the spray nozzles controls
the lm thickness on the substrate, while gas ow determines
droplet size and spray pattern.
The Quantim mass ow controller is perfect for controlling
the liquid ow rate to the spray nozzle. In addition, the
instantaneous density output available from the Quantim Series
can be employed diagnostically to detect the presence of gas
bubbles in the liquid stream.
The Brooks Model 0254 secondary electronics may be used to
provide power, local display, and setpoint for both ow devices.
The liquid density measurement, used for quality control, is
also displayed. A totalizer function may be used to track liquid
inventory to ensure that the process supply does not run low.

The nominal ow rate is the ow rate at which water at reference conditions causes approximately 1 bar of pressure drop or the laminar to turbulent transition ow
whichever is lower. Maximum ow rate is twice nominal ow rate or the laminar to turbulent transition ow whichever is lower.
(2)
Standard volumetric conditions are 14.696 psia and 70oF.
(3)
Actual volumetric ow is a function of the mass ow and the density measurements; therefore the accuracy of actual volumetric ow is a function of the mass ow
and density accuracy.
(4)
Accuracy includes combined repeatability, linearity, and hysteresis. Specications are based on reference test conditions of water/nitrogen at 68 to 77OF (20 to
25OC) and 15 to 30 psig (1 to 2 bar).
(5)
Dierential pressures are based on reference conditions of water and air at 68 to 77OF (20 to 25OC).
(6)
The density measurement at temperatures other than 21OC (70OF) has an additional error of approximately 0.0005 grams/cc per OC.
(7)
A temperature rise of up to 20OC (68OF) from internal heating can occur in an open environment where ambient temperature is 23OC (73OF). The device
temperature is aected by the ambient and process temperature as well as warming when the device is powered. The device should be maintained in the specied
temperature range at all times.
