1-3 Description
The SLA5800 Series provides a highly configurable platform based on a
simple modular architecture. The SLA5800 Series feature set was carefully
selected to enable drop-in replacement and upgrade of many brands of
mass flow controllers. With the wide range of options and features
available, the SLA5800 Series provides users with a single platform to
support a broad range of applications.
Industrial Multi-gas/Multi-range Capabilities
The SLA5800 Series allows multi-gas and multi-range capabilities to
reduce customer inventory. Storage and pre-programming of up to 6 gas
calibrations easily permits users to switch between different gasses and
ranges on a single device
Wide Flow Range
The SLA5800 Series covers an extremely broad range of flow rates. Model
SLA5850 can have a full scale flow as low as 3 ccm. With a high turndown
ratio of 100:1 for any full scale range from 1-50 lpm N2 equivalent and 50:1
turndown for all other flow rates, accurate gas flow can be measured or
controlled down to 0.06 ccm! Model SLA5853 can monitor or control gas
flows up to 2500 lpm
Fast Response Performance
