FC Manual Flow Controllers
Precise fluid controllers that ensure constant pressure across valves.
Supply or discharge pressures may vary. But with flow controllers from Brooks Instrument, the differential pressure across the integral manual flow regulating valve remains constant. An internal diaphragm-actuated control valve receives incoming pressure on one side and outlet pressure with spring action on the other. This design balances pressure variations to maintain a fixed differential pressure across the valve that ensures constant flow. The result is precise flow control for many gas and liquid-service applications. Can be used as a stand alone flow controller or integrally mounted to a flow meter to save space and improve installation.
