Digital MFC
The digital MFC incorporates a reliable piezo valve that features springless and total metal design, which means no particle creation and dead volume reduced to a maximum. A “zero drift sensor” uses thin-film technology that includes a pure platinum layer of 50 angstroms. Reportedly, drift specification drops from 0.2 percent to 0.1 percent F.S. per year. Multidimensional calibration reduces temperature coefficient from 0.05 percent to 0.01 percent F.S. between 20 and 60 degrees Celsius.
