SLAMf Series Data Sheet

Features

  • ISO/IEC 17025 accredited
  • SLA Series Biotech MFC offers two options packages with features created specifically to improve bioprocessing performance. See which package is right for your process.
  • NEMA4X / IP66 rated hardened enclosure
  • Wide range of full scale flows - from 0.003 up to 2500 lpm (36,000 lpm for meters)
  • Suitable for a broad range of temperature and pressure conditions
  • Industry-leading thermal flow measurement sensor technology delivers excellent accuracy
  • Broad array of available communication options now includes EtherNetIP™ and PROFINET which feature a web-based interface that lets you easily configure network settings.
  • Programmable multi-gas/multi-range capabilities
  • Advanced self-test routines and an independent diagnostic service port lets users troubleshoot or change flow conditions without removing the MFC from service

Benefits

  • Hardened device housing ensures process accuracy and control in harsh conditions
  • Proprietary thermal sensing technology delivers superior signal to noise ratio at low set points
  • Long-term sensor stability reduces maintenance and periodic recalibration requirements
  • Choose one device, program up to six different gas calibrations
  • Enhanced valve shut-off, wide turndown, certifications and approvals (USP Class VI/ADI-free) for all elastomeric material in the gas stream (wetted path), including valve seats and o-rings, are available with the SLA Series Biotech MFC
  • User-accessible service port simplifies installation, troubleshooting and diagnostic tasks
  • Excellent accuracy backed by superior metrology systems and calibration based on global standards
  • EtherNet/IP™ and PROFINET permits multiple, additional diagnostics beyond those provided by the mass flow controller alone, giving users rich, real-time system information
  • ISO/IEC 17025 certification and calibration available with flow accuracy of ±0.6% of SP
  • Traceable calibrations to meet industry standards and regulatory requirements

Applications

  • Life sciences
  • Chemical and petrochemical pilot plants
  • Blanketing in food processing
