The MKS general purpose multi-gas, multi-range elastomer-sealed mass flow controller is engineered to deliver reliable flow control for flow rates up to 50 slm. The controller supports digital I/O options including RS485, Profibus, EtherCAT, and DeviceNet, and features a patented thermal sensor design that ensures exceptional zero stability. With standard Viton seals and valve plug options of Buna, Neoprene, or Kalrez, the GE50A accommodates a variety of gas applications. Designed with a standard 3-inch footprint, the controller fits seamlessly into existing gas lines without requiring modifications, while fast digital control electronics provide response times around 500 milliseconds for stable and repeatable flow regulation. Digital calibration delivers 1% of setpoint accuracy on the calibration gas, and an embedded user interface makes it easy to change device range, select user gas, and monitor performance. All wetted surfaces are metal, with minimal use of elastomers for improved durability and leak integrity.
