Precision MFC Gas Control Stage

The Ultimate Solution for Precise and Stable Flow Control

The PMGC –XX Gas Flow Station, built with the mass flow control unit, gas flow pipeline, and electrical components, is the ideal solution for various applications demanding precise and stable flow control.

Versatile Gas Control

The Precision MFC gas control stage offers exceptional flexibility, supporting over 130 userselectable gases. Whereas conventional MFCs are restricted to a single gas type, this system enables seamless gas switching and precise concentration adjustments. Its compact design ensures efficient integration into various applications requiring dynamic gas control.

Ease of Use

Ready for operation with just a few gas lines and a USB connection.
