Brooks Instrument manufacturers solutions for flow, pressure, and level measurement solutions

Product Overview

Brooks' LF200 Series ultrasonic liquid flow controllers feature an all-PFA wetted flowpath that is chemically inert and solvent resistant to virtually all chemicals, making the LF200 ideal for controlling flows of high purity and ultra-high purity liquids, de-ionized (and other highly pure) water, acids, bases, or similar fluids. In addition, the flow path is straight, permitting the LF200 liquid flow controller to measure complex dual-phase fluids like CMP slurries without imparting any shear force that could damage the fluid or cause agglomeration. The LF200 liquid flow controller employs a bi-directional, ultrasonic transit-time measurement technique and advanced signal processing algorithms to provide highly accurate flow measurement and control even in the presence of bubbles. Needle valve and pinch valve options are available.

• Chemically inert flow path
• Straight-through flow path with no bends or sharp turns
• Very compact size
• +/- 1% of rate accuracy available

Features/Benefits

Accuracy

Proprietary conical ultrasonic sensor and signal processing algorithms provide 30X improvement in signal to noise ratio over the competition and enable industry leading 1% set-point accuracy. Even for ultra-low flow rates (<50 ml/min), the Brooks LF200 Series can perform with a repeatability within +/-0.5 ml/min.
