1.2 Description
Models MF60S, MF61S, MF63S and MF64S Brooks MF-series Smart Mass
Flow Meters are primarily used to provide accurate measurements of gas
ows. The heart of these systems is the thermal mass ow sensor, which
produces an electrical output signal as a function of ow rate.
In addition, models MF50S, MF51S and MF53S Brooks MF-series Smart
Mass Flow Controllers control gas ows. The ow ranges per model are listed
in Table 1-1.
Table 1-1: Flow ranges per model.
* refers to ‘normal’ conditions, i.e. 0°C, 1013.25 mbar.
The Brooks MF-series Smart Mass Flow Meter is a stand-alone instrument
with microprocessor-based electronics on board. The MF-series Smart Mass
Flow Controller has an integrally-mounted control-valve module with which
table gas ows can be achieved.
MASS FLOW METERS
• The supplied inlet adapter has a built-in, upstream inlet lter for ow
straightening. Besides reducing the effects of changes in upstream piping,
this also protects the measuring element from occasional debris in the ow
stream. In addition, it eliminates the need for extra (expensive) inlet ltering.
• Flow signal adjustable via software: (not for Probus)
0-5 Vdc or
1-5 Vdc or
0-20 mA or
4-20 mA
• Output damping provides a constant scale reading under uctuating ow
rate conditions. Standard factory setting: 0.5 sec. (not for Probus)
• Output limiting prevents possible damage to delicate acquisition devices by
limiting the output to 0-5.25 Vdc on the voltage signal output and 0-21 mA
on the current output. (not for Probus)
• An alarm (TTL open collector) signal output is available to the user. If the
instrument’s specications are exceeded, either by process conditions or by
the device itself, an alarm signal can be generated.
Note:
Digital output (communication) is simultaneously available with analogue
output (not for Probus).
