Aalborg Instruments’ DPC series precision digital mass flow controller provides accurate and stable control of mass flow rates, of process gases. With simultaneous displays of Mass Flow, Volumetric Flow, Pressure and Temperature parameters it can be used in a variety of industries: scientific and analytical applications, bioreactors and surface depositions, gas sampling, manufacturing and metrology activities.
DPC flow controllers support various functions including: user selectable local, analog, digital or program set point control, two programmable flow totalizers, low, high or range flow, temperature and pressure alarms, automatic zero adjustment (activated via local or communication interface), programmable SSR relay, programmable 0-5 Vdc, 0-10 Vdc or 4-20 mA analog inputs and outputs, user-programmable pulse output (via SSR), and extensive self-diagnostics functionalities.
DPC differential pressure mass flow controllers feature totalizers with batch processing mode (0.5% RD + 0.2%FS) standard accuracy, 200:1 turn-down ratio and less than 150 ms response time. Significant savings are apparent, comparing to the cost of a single DPC embodying these features, with that of acquiring and installing mulitple, appliation-specific devices.
