Types of Apex Mass Flow Controllers

Standard, Aggressive and Low Pressure Drop Models

Vacuum MFC

Apex MFC for Vacuum

Apex Mass Flow Controller 

Our Apex Mass Flow Controller is standard for most applications, either vacuum or pressure. We offer the most accurate and fastest to set-point of any MFC on the market for the price. Options to customize your mass flow controller for your specific application are numerous and include such options as high calibration, totalizer function, and custom VCR gas fittings. Our on-board controller allows you to set our MFC without expensive rack mount control boxes. Using our PID parameters, you can further customize the speed and update times to better meet your application needs.

Apex Mass Flow Controller for Vacuum Applications

Our vacuum series Apex Mass Flow Controller is designed for new and retro-fit vacuum applications. Replacing existing thermal mass flow controllers with Apex's MFC is comparable in form, fit and function. Our enclosed valve design and fittings conforms to SEMI International Standards. Contact us to discuss how to switch to our multi-gas drop in replacement mass flow controllers. Gas connections are VCR.

Apex Aggressive Gas Mass Flow Controller

The Apex Aggressive Gas Mass Flow Controller opens the door to flow control for some of the harshest applications. Gases include ammonia, butylene, chlorine, dimeth ylether, hydrogen sulfide, silane and others. The Aggressive Gas Series uses alternative seals compatible with these and other aggressive/corrosive gases that normally pose problems with the standard Viton seals. Each Aggressive Gas Apex MFC comes with all inert and other gases in the library. Output connectors can be the standard NPT or welded VCR. 

Apex Low Pressure Drop Mass Flow Controller

The Apex Low Pressure Drop Mass Flow Controller allows control of gas flow even where the pressure differential is minimal or can not be disturbed. This option can reach full-scale pressure drops as low as 0.06 PSID! When you have an application where keeping the pressure differential steady is essential or there is minimal pressure to work with, the Apex Low Pressure Drop Mass Flow Controller is the MFC for you.

Apex Bidirectional Mass Flow Controller

The Apex Bidirectional MFC is the best option for control of flow in both directions as well as in and out of a closed volume. Whether it be a vacuum chamber or high pressure chamber, the Bidirectional Mass Flow controller takes the place of a bleed valve and exhaust, all while maintaining precise control. Save money on gas consumption and solve tough flow applications with the Apex Bidirectional Mass Flow Controller.
