** The Full Scale flow rate is designated by a 3 digit number. The first two digits represent the significant digits of the Full Scale flow rate separated by a decimal point. The third digit is the exponent of the power of ten. Example flow rate code: 255 is 2.5 x 105 sccm or 250 slm; 105 is 1.0 x 105 sccm or 100 slm

Features
Multi-gas/Multi-range Capable
The multi-gas/multi-range capability, along with tight performance specifications for accuracy, allow users to minimize inventory of high flow MFM part numbers. The multi-gas/multi-range feature (along with other custom controls) is accessed through the MFM embedded diagnostic interface, that requires no special software or hardware to operate. A standard Ethernet cable and JAVA-enabled HTML browser, widely available, are all the tools needed. The critical gas parameters for typical high flow rate gases are already stored on the device. Configuring the device is simply a matter of selecting the gas from a drop down menu and specifying the desired full scale flow range. The diagnostic interface also allows the user to perform routine device health checks, plot flow, and store operating data for off-line analysis.
