Technical Data for MCV & MCVS Mass Flow Controllers
0 to 0.5 sccm Full Scale through 0 to 20 slpm Full Scale
The Alicat
MCV
mass flow controller is designed for applications that require tight shut-off such as vacuum
coating and sputtering processes. An integrated pneumatic shut-off valve is normally closed and provides
positive shut-off of 1 x 10
-9
atm scc/sec Helium max.
MCVS
controllers are for use with aggressive gases.
