SERIESDFC|DIGITAL FLOW CONTROLLER
BENEFITS/FEATURES
• Able to quickly see changes due to fast <20 ms response rate
•Simplesetupusingconguration/calibrationsoftware
• Works for a variety of application with up to 90 different user selectable gases and gas mixes
• Meet application requirements with high accuracy and repeatability
• Minimize downtime with self-diagnostics through status LED or OLED indication
DESCRIPTIONAPPLICATIONS
• Gas ow measurement
• Gas ow control
• Operating pumps and valves
• Process equipment
• Vacuum process
• Scientic and analytical
• Bioreactors and surface depositions
The Series DFC Digital Flow Controller combines a straight tube sensor
with a restrictor ow element to provide accurate readings and control.
Simultaneous displays of mass ow, volumetric ow, pressure and
temperature parameters promote applications in a variety of industries.
