Mass Flow Controller System

Description
The complete 8270 Mass Flow Controller System offered by Matheson consists of a flow controller transducer (Model 8272/8273 Series), a digital readout power supply box, a feedback circuit to control the flow, an integral control valve and all of the necessary cable and connectors. An additional feature of the control box is a three position selector switch to allow the user to conveniently switch between an open position (valve fully open), a closed position (valve fully closed) and a control position (unit functioning as a controller). The first two positions mentioned are override positions. These flow controllers can be supplied with either Swagelok tube connections (standard) or optional male VCR compatible connections for easy installation into tubing and piping systems.
In the operating or "Control" mode the unit functions similar to a mass flowmeter but with the addition of a feedback circuit and control valve, which continuously monitor and control the flow of gas passing through the unit. When there is a flow imbalance sensed, an electronic logic circuit sends power to the control valve to maintain the flow setpoint by either throttling open or closed.
The 8270 Mass Flow Controller Digital Readout Box is available standard for rack mounting in a 1/2 EIA rack or for benchtop use. Other standard features are high to low alarm setpoints selected by the user. The transducer portion of the unit is supplied standard with Swagelok® connections. The Model 8124 Totalizer is also available and can be used to compile the total amount of gas used over a period of time, regardless of varying flow rates.
