The SFC5500 is now available via distributors worldwide

We proudly presents our new SFC5500 mass flow controller series. The world’s first mass flow controller, which is available via catalogue distribution. It is calibrated for multiple gasses and comes with easily changable push-in fittings.

SFC5500, available via distribution in 3 versions
Sensirion, the flow and environmental sensors expert, proudly presents its new SFC5500 mass flow controller series. The SFC5500 is the world’s first mass flow controller available via catalogue distribution. The high-performance mass flow controller is calibrated for multiple gasses and comes with push-in fittings, which can be changed easily by the user. Thanks to the SFC5500’s ultra-wide control range, each device can cover multiple flow ranges found in conventional devices. As a result, only three different versions with different flow ranges are enough to cover most flow rates of interest. This makes the SFC5500 ideally suited for applications in the medical, analytical and industrial sectors. The SFC5500 is now available worldwide through Sensirion’s distribution network. The SFC5500 mass flow controller series represents the culmination of Sensirion’s excellent 20-year track record in precision control of gas flow. The sensor is based on the microthermal measurement principle and makes use of Sensirion’s proven CMOSens® MEMS Technology. This allowed us to build an innovative mass flow controller with best-in-class performance and excellent reliability, which – unlike most other devices on the market – does not drift and does not require in-service re-calibration. Thanks to the exceptionally high control range enabled by the CMOSens® MEMS flow sensor, the SFC5500 series can cover multiple flow ranges found in traditional mass flow controllers in a single device. Coupled with multi-gas calibration and exchangeable fittings, the SFC5500 series offers the first mass flow controllers on the market that are available as standard off-the-shelf products and are suitable for a wide range of applications. Thanks to this versatility, the SFC5500 series are also the first mass flow controllers available via catalog distributors. The SFC5500 series complements the SFC5xxx family of Sensirion’s best-in-class mass flow controllers. It offers the same top performance as the SFC5400 and is therefore suitable for a broad range of applications in medical, analytical and industrial environments. However, unlike the highly configurable SFC5400 series, the SFC5500 series mass flow controllers are available in several standard pre-configured variants. For other gasses, flow ranges, fittings and interfaces, please check the SFC5400, or Sensirion’s most cost-efficient OEM solution – the SFC5300.

High performance and versatile mass flow controller

The SFC5400 mass flow controller measures and controls mass flows with outstanding accuracy, long-term stability and repeatability and covers an impressively wide dynamic measurement range. The SFC5400 highly configurable and its body housing is made of metal. Furthermore, the flow controller is available with various interfaces and a variety of fluidic connections and measures maximum flow rates from 50 sccm up to 200 slm. The sensor signal is directly converted into a digital, completely calibrated and temperature-compensated signal on the chip. Multiple gas calibrations can be stored on a single device. Additionally, the flow controller can check whether the activated gas calibration matches the actual gas present. The versatility of the SFC5400 makes it the ideal solution for industrial and medical applications. The SFC5400 mass flow controller is, as all sensor products, based on the innovative CMOSens® Technology, which integrates the high-precision sensor element and the analog and digital processing electronics on a single CMOS silicon chip and guarantees an outstanding performance. Combined with high-quality materials, the result is a durably stable, extremely fast and highly precise mass flow controller. The SFC5400 mass flow controller is available as valve-free version too. The SFM5400 mass flow meter has the same performance characteristics as the mass flow controller and is used in similar applications, and the two products can be ideally combined. You can find further information and detailed specifications about the mass flow controller on the SFM5400 website. For customer projects with high unit quantities, we adapt or develop your mass flow controller according to your specific requirements.

Versatile mass flow controller, via online distribution

SFC5500 mass flow controller series represent the culmination of Sensirion’s excellent 20-year track record in precision control of gas flow. The sensor is based on the microthermal measurement principle and makes use of Sensirion’s proven CMOSens® MEMS Technology. This allowed us to build a radical mass flow controller with best-in-class performance and excellent reliability, which unlike most other devices on the market, does not drift and does not require in-service re-calibration. Thanks to the exceptionally high control range enabled by the CMOSens® MEMS flow sensor, SFC5500 series can cover multiple flow ranges of a traditional mass flow controller in a single device.

Thanks to this versatility, SFC5500 series are also the first mass flow controllers available via catalogue distribution. SFC5500 series complements the SFC5xxx family of Sensirion’s best-in-class mass flow Controllers, offering the same top performance as SFC5400 and is thus suited for a broad range of applications where best accuracy, highest speed and widest dynamic range are needed. However, unlike the highly configurable SFC5400 series, SFC5500 series mass flow controllers are available in several standard pre-configured variants. For other gases, flow ranges, fittings and interfaces please check SFC5400, or Sensirion’s most cost-efficient solution for large OEM projects – SFC5300. If you are looking for a mass flow meter, SFM5500 is a valve-less sister variant of SFC5500 offering the same great performance.
