The Precision Fluidics Division of Parker Hannifin Corporation, manufacturer of motion and control technologies, recently announced the release of its new X-Flow Mass Flow Controller.

The company says that the X-Flow Mass Flow Controller provides fast, repeatable and reliable high accuracy flow control through its Constant Thermal By-Pass Mass Measurement Technology, coupled with Parker’s digital communication protocols.

X-Flow also features the Parker Tracking System that enables customers to track assets, reduce downtime and centralise documentation. Additionally, included with the X-Flow is free downloadable software, the Parker Floware, which provides the flexibility to address process changes, download stored data, view the controller’s performance and set alarms and counters.

The mass flow controllers are available in various full-scale flow ranges, from 40 ml/min to 20 l/min with digital control as a standard option, and in 0-5 Vdc or 4-20 mAdc Sourcing control options.

"In ongoing discussions with our OEM partners in the lab, process and analytical markets, customers have told us they need a streamlined but robust mass flow controller," said Sam Ruback, strategic marketing manager, Precision Fluidics Division. "Adding X-Flow to our line of high quality and performance mass flow controllers and other flow control solutions will help our customers overcome their fluidic challenges while reducing design risks and realize their fluidic design solutions."
