mini CORI-FLOW™ M12V14I

Low Flow Coriolis Mass Flow Controllers for Liquids

mini CORI-FLOW™ Mass Flow Meters and Controllers are precise and compact instruments, based on the Coriolis measuring principle, designed to cover the needs of the low flow market. Bronkhorst^® model M12V14I Mass Flow Controller (MFC) is suited for highly accurate control of liquid flow ranges between 0,1…5 g/h and 4…200 g/h at operating pressures up to 100 bar (higher on request). The instruments are equipped with a robust IP65 weatherproof housing and are optionally available with ATEX approval for use in Zone 2 hazardous areas.

The instrument contains a microprocessor based pc-board with signal and fieldbus conversion and a PID controller for mass flow control by means of an integrated control valve (normally closed).
