SLA5800 Elastomer Sealed Mass Flow Controllers & Meters
Advance and simplify your mass flow control
Imagine choosing just one mass flow controller platform to handle fourteen different pressure or flow rates going into a single process. All while delivering the exact same, ultra-precise and repeatable output on the other side. That's the advanced simplicity you get with the SLA5800 Series digital mass flow controllers and meters.
The SLA5800 Series features the high accuracy, zero stability and high repeatability you expect from the industry leader in mass flow measurement and control technology. Engineered with a superior design - and manufactured with advanced metrology and test systems - the SLA5800 digital MFC offers a better zero drift specification than competitive products. SLA5800 has been proven to maximize production uptime and reduce maintenance and machine downtime costs.

Benefits
- ISO/IEC 17025 certification and calibration available with flow accuracy of ±0.6% of SP
- Enhanced valve shut-off, wide turndown, certifications and approvals (USP Class VI/ADI-free) for all elastomeric material in the MFC's gas stream (wetted path) including valve seats and o-rings available with the SLA Series Biotech MFC
- Long-term sensor stability reduces maintenance and periodic recalibration requirements, reducing total cost of ownership
- Proprietary Brooks Instrument thermal sensing technology delivers superior signal to noise performance for improved accuracy at low set points
- Choose one device platform for different gases and flow ranges
- Storage and pre-programming of up to six gas calibrations lets users easily switch between different gases and ranges on a single device, and reduces inventory
- User-accessible service port simplifies installation, troubleshooting and diagnostic tasks without disturbing flow controller operation
- Durable, robust metal top lid prevents damage during installation
- EtherNet|P™ and PROFINET permit multiple, additional diagnostics beyond those provided by the mass flow controller alone, giving users rich, real-time system information
- Traceable calibrations to meet industry standards and regulatory requirements
