MASS FLOW CONTROLLER-5

IMPLEMENTED FUNCTIONS PRESSURE INSENSITIVE FUNCTION The PI (Pressure Insensitive) function improves the controllers ability to tolerate variations in the primary pressure. This function improves durability and is currently highly desired in mass flow controllers. Upstream gas supply pressure changes may cause ordinary mass flow controllers to fluctuate in pressure because the MFC tries to maintain control as it detects pressure change at the flow rate sensor. Therefore, any current mass flow controller, without this regulator, is directly influenced by fluctuation in the gas supply inlet pressure,...
