The GPCMA is a metal-sealed pressure controller with an integral mass flow meter. It is suited for a wide variety of applications requiring pressure control capability from 500 Torr to 100 psi. The GPCMA incorporates the latest in digital flow control electronics along with a well proven, thermally stable pressure sensor and mechanical design. The mass flow meter provides the capability of monitoring mass flow rates as a diagnostic for critical process applications.

High Purity Applications
The GPCMA, with 4 VCR® fittings, is 1.125'' (28.6 mm) wide and 4.88'' (124 mm overall) length allowing it to fit in standard gas systems. It is also available with the 1.125'' (38.6 mm) IGS compatible c-seal and w-seal configurations. The GPCMA metal-sealed, pressure controller with its 10 microinch, electropolished surface finish is well suited for use in high purity process applications. The GPCMA is available with a normally closed valve.
