Mass Flow Controllers (MFCs) are often considered the “Gold Standard” for precise control of gas used in R&D laboratories, semiconductor and pharmaceutical manufacturing, automotive and industrial process control, fuel cell, energy, and environmental monitoring. The use of thermal sensors to determine mass flow of gas along with integration of a proportional valve for control has traditionally been the most used approach, but the advent of reliable pressure sensors to gather mass flow information has addressed weaknesses of the thermal sensor in application. Slow response time, sensor drift due to chimney effects and oxidation, back pressures affecting the accuracy of the thermal sensor, and the frequent need to recalibrate are largely overcome in a pressure based mass flow controller. Pressure based mass flow controllers (MFCs) usually have a much wider range of operation than thermal types.

The BI-3000 Gas Mass Flow Controller embodies with innovation the best features of pressure based laminar gas mass flow controller (MFC) technology. Wet or dry gas-stream metering, very wide ranging, pressure and mass information, low drift and infrequent calibration, gas selectability, back pressure immunity and high precision are standards of excellence and performance. Unique in the industry, the BI-3000 series gas mass flow controllers are immune to the effect of most wet and corrosive gasses and also exhibit very low “dead volumes” associated with other pressure based mass flow control technologies.
