Equipment manufacturers are looking for compact solutions to monitor or control gas flow or pressure in their system. Conventional mass flow and pressure meters or controllers needed a footprint of 1,5" (38,1 mm). Due to the use of micro solid state technology (MEMS), Bronkhorst High-Tech in the Netherlands has been able to halve the footprint dimension to 0,75" (19,05 mm), thereby realising ultra compact flow and pressure controllers. The combination of thermally balanced chip-sensors with integrated digital electronics, feature high accuracy, fast response and a very stable zero.
The core philosophy of Bronkhorst is to form close working links and collaborations with original equipment manufacturers to ensure optimised integration of the instruments. Most often this results in a bespoke design in which various functions are combined into one micro fluidic system. The IQ+FLOW concept offers these functional modules: flowmeter, pressure meter, control valve, shut-off valve, three-way valve, and mixing chamber.
A combination of modules can be mounted on a compact manifold, in line with a customer's requirement, and following open design discussions. The 'plug-and-play' assembly ensures space efficiency, cost reduction and a minimum of potential leak points. An example of a typical application is flow and pressure control in gas chromatography systems.
Mecosa is the sole agent for Bronkhorst High-Tech in South Africa.
Electronic manometer with LED display ifm - South Africa
Pressure Measurement & Control
The new generation of PG type manometers are equipped with IO-Link and modern display units. Illuminated LED markings provide a quick overview of the current measured value. In addition to the various setting options for the display unit, IO-Link offers other advantages such as easy commissioning, quick sensor replacement and remote access options.
