Bronkhorst High-Tech B.V. manufactures the largest variety of thermal Mass Flow Meters and Controllers for gases and liquids. The Mass Flow Meters of the EL-FLOW® Series are compact, modular instruments with laboratory style electronics housing. They can be combined with control valves, either integrated or separate, in order to measure and control gas flows in ranges starting from 0,063 mln/min up to 251250 ln/min air-equivalent.

LOW-delta-P-FLOW AND EL-PRESS SERIES
For applications with low pressure drop Bronkhorst High-Tech can offer the LOW-delta P-FLOW series. These instruments can also be equipped with the new multi-bus digital pc-board. The EL-PRESS series Electronic Pressure Transducers and Controllers are available with the new pc-boards too.

PRESSURE INSTRUMENTS
The Bronkhorst High-Tech B.V. pressure meter measures pressures from 100 mbar up to 400 bar depending on body rating, either absolute pressure or gauge pressure and in the range 0 to 15 bar differential pressure too. The pressure controller controls pressure with a very high accuracy and repeatability. The controller is available in forward control (P-600 series) and backward control (P-700 series).
The flow going through the pressure controller depends on up and downstream pressures, the orifice diameter of the valve and kind of fluid. Industrial instruments have IP-65 protection class and therefore other housings. Profibus will be connected using M12 connectors. Bronkhorst High-Tech Cori-Flow® instruments are based on Coriolis measuring principle and are offered in a range of 200 g/h up to 600 kg/h for both gasses and liquids and for meters as well as controllers. They also offer IP65 protection class and have M12 connectors for connection to Profibus-DP.

The MFCs that speak your language?
Bronkhorst High-Tech B.V. developed their latest digital instruments according to the multi-bus principle. The basic pc-board on the instruments contains all of the general functions needed for measurement and control. It has analog I/O-signals and also a RS232 connection as standard feature. In addition to this there is the possibility of integrating an interface board with PROFIBUS DP protocol.

FIELDS OF APPLICATION
· Gas flow control in semiconductor machinery
· Analysis and environmental studies
· Gas flow monitoring in food, chemical and petrochemical plants
