Sierra Instruments announces the release of its new Max-Trak Model 180 industrial mass flow controller for gases, for applications where frequent wash-down or hose-down is required.

Sierra Instruments announces the release of its new Max-Trak Model 180 industrial mass flow controller for gases. The Max-Trak is the industry's only NEMA 6 (IP67) compliant industrial mass flow controller. In applications where frequent wash-down or hose-down is required, such as chemical processing, pharmaceutical, biotech, even food and beverage, Max-Trak outperforms the competition as it conforms to the rigorous requirements of NEMA 6 and IP67.

In addition, the instrument comes with the only fully enclosed valve design to drastically minimise leak-in paths for maximum protection.

Excellent accuracy and reliability coupled with unsurpassed instrument stability offer customers a gas mass flow controller that is strong, effective and dependable.

Max-Trak measures and controls gas mass flow rates from 0 to 200 slpm (up to 400 slpm upon request) in a flow body a little over 5 inches long.

It has an accuracy of +/-1% of full scale, and a repeatability of +/-0.2% of full scale to ensure process stability, even under changing conditions.

Based upon the successful Sierra Smart-Trak series of mass flow controllers, Max-Trak includes Dial-A-Gas technology allowing users to select from up to 10 gases in one instrument--creating great flexibility.

Other key features of the Max-Trak include both digital and analogue communication, genuine 50:1 turndown, operation at low differential pressures, and the ability to view and change critical parameters in the field without sacrificing performance or returning the instrument to a service centre.

A true industrial product, Max-Trak's all stainless steel flow path (with electrometric seals to eliminate leaks) is suitable for any clean gas, including corrosives and toxics.
