Mass Flow Controllers: Precision Management of Gas and Liquid Flow in Modern Industry

In industrial processes, laboratory experiments, and high-tech manufacturing, accurate control of gas and liquid flow is crucial. The Mass Flow Controller (MFC) is a precision device that plays a pivotal role in measuring and controlling the flow of gases and liquids in various applications, ensuring process stability, repeatability, and safety.

What Is a Mass Flow Controller?

A Mass Flow Controller (MFC) is an electronic device used to precisely measure and control the flow rate of gases or liquids in industrial processes. Unlike volumetric flow controllers, which measure flow based on volume per unit time, MFCs measure the mass flow rate — the mass of fluid passing through per unit time, typically in units like grams per minute (g/min) or kilograms per hour (kg/h).

This capability allows MFCs to provide accurate flow control regardless of changes in pressure or temperature, making…
