McMillan Model 108 PTFE Liquid FLO-SENSORS will precisely measure flow rates of virtually any fluid as low as 15 mL/minute or as high as 10 L/minute. Repeatable results are achieved by using a patented microturbine flow sensor design. This design, unlike traditional paddlewheel designs, provides accurate flow measurement with no particle generation. PTFE, perfluoroelastomers, and sapphire wetted parts ensure compatibility with chemicals commonly found in microelectronics manufacturing processes, including deionized water, CMP slurries, acids, solvents, and photoresist.
These PTFE Liquid FLO-SENSORS integrate the sensing element with advanced electronics to provide output signals proportional to flow rate. Each unit is individually calibrated before shipment, and a certificate of calibration accompanies all FLO-SENSORS. A repeatability specification of ±0.2% full scale reassures process engineers of consistent results.
Model 108 Features & Options
ACCURACY/LINEARITY
Pulse output models have an accuracy specification of ±3.0% full scale (including linearity).
Analog output models have an accuracy specification of ±1.0% full scale (including linearity).
CALIBRATION
All units are calibrated at the factory using deionized water. Calibration curves may be requested for fluids with viscosities differing from water.
DISPLAYS
McMillan has a comprehensive range of remote displays for use with UHP FLO-SENSORS. Please request further information from the factory.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
All units have an integrated 7-pin connector. Several mating cable options are available.
FLOW RANGES
Flow ranges from 15-100 mL/minute up to 1,000-10,000 mL/minute are available. Consult the factory for custom requirements.
FLUID CONNECTIONS
All units have male Flaretek- compatible connections. Non-standard connection types may be available upon request.
GANGS OF MULTIPLE UNITS
To reduce overall footprint in multiple-channel applications, McMillan can assemble custom gangs of U707/U708 FLO-SENSORS and assign a custom part number for the entire assembly. Please request details from the factory.
POWER
Units may be specified to operate with either 12 VDC or 24 VDC power. Various power adapters are available for use with 12 VDC versions.
SIGNAL OUTPUTS
Pulse output configurations feature a pulse output, typically 0-400 Hz (consult calibration certificate for exact frequency output).
Analog output configurations are available with either a 4-20 mA, 0-5 VDC, or 0-10 VDC output.
WETTED MATERIALS
All units have only PTFE, perfluoroelastomers, and sapphire as wetted parts.
