Scope of this manual

1.1

Introduction

This manual covers the FLOW-SMS series, Bronkhorst® lightweight, modular gas delivery system. It handles the
general instructions needed for the surface mount components, i.e. digital mass flow / pressure meters and
controllers, control valves, shut-off valves and filters, as well as the manifold components such as mixing and
distribution chambers, support rails and adapter plates.
FLOW-SMS systems are assembled according to customer's specifications. The ranges for the flow sensor can be
selected between approx. 5 ml
pressure range can be chosen between 0-100 mbar and 0-10 bar absolute or gauge. Depending on the application
the customer may prefer a system with face seal fittings, compression type couplings, or flanges according to
customers' specification. On request, the system will be assembled, tested, and packaged in a cleanroom.
