 Smart Trak 2 Model 100 Mass Flow Meters & Controllers
 
Premium Digital Mass Flow Meters & Controllers
 
Smart -Trak® 2 is the next generation of our flagship Model 100. Building upon unprecedented performance, user-friendliness and flexibility of innovative features likeDial-A-Gas capability and the Pilot Module interface, Smart Trak 2 gives users the world's most linear sensor, smoother valve performance, more robust electronics and even more control over a wide range of functions. The result is a series of mass flow meters and controllers that demonstrates premium flow instrumentation doesn't have to be difficult to use.
 
Smart -Trak 2 is designed so that the physics are correct. Excellent performance results from a patented, inherently linear Laminar Flow Element (LFE) design, advanced platinum sensor technology, and Sierra's proprietary frictionless-hovering control valve. Smart-Trak 2 is available with an innovative and user-friendly Pilot Module, a front-mounted or hand-held control device that allows users toDial-A-Gas®,change flow rate, modify engineering units or re-configure the instrument. With the Pilot Module, the user can set zero, span and full scale for each of 10 different gases independently to accommodate unexpected application or system design changes.
 
With the addition of Sierra's Compod, Smart Trak 2 transforms into a fully network-enabled MODBUS RTU device. Just like the award-winning original, Smart-Trak 2 delivers performance, flexibility and value.

 Micro-Trak™ Model 101 (Ultra Low Flow Controller)
 
Ultra Low Flow Mass Flow Meters & Controllers
 
As today's science and engineering focus more and more on micro technology, the requirement to be able to measure and control extremely low gas mass flows has become very important. With state-of-the-art sensor technology and highly engineered direct acting valve design, Micro-Trak accurately measures and controls micro mass flows of gas previously thought by scientists to be too low for a repeatable reading.
 
Micro-Trak is specifically designed for flow ranges under 4 sccm (smlm) with a minimum controllable mass flow rate of 0.1 sccm (smlm). Micro-Trak is a specialized instrument for those who need accurate and reliable micro mass flow control of clean gases including corrosives and toxics. Micro-Trak is also available with an innovative and user-friendly Pilot Module, a front-mounted or hand-held control device that allows users to Dial-A-Gas®, change flow rate, modify engineering units or re-configure the instrument. With the Pilot Module, the user can set zero, span and full scale for each of 10 different gases independently to accommodate unexpected application or system design changes.
 
Add the Compod™ programmable control module to the Model 100 & Model 101 and get multi-drop RS-485/MODBUS RTU communications to greatly simplify basic flow control installations and permit networking of multiple instruments.

 Mass-Trak® Model 810 Mass Flow Controllers
 
Economical Analog Mass Flow Controllers
 
Designed to control the flow of air and ALL inert gases & mixtures, our Mass-Trak® Model 810C meets the same performance criteria as any industry-standard MFC at an affordable price.  Our Model 810C is available with a large LCD readout and provides two simultaneous analog output signals, 0-5 VDC and 4-20 mA. The control valve features a purge mode and a valve close command from an external contact. The built-in setpoint control and simple 24 VDC power supply eliminate the need for a separate power supply and readout electronics that can cost as much as a new MFC.
 
Our Model 810C is available in your choice of engineering units at flow ranges from 0-10 sccm to 0-50 slpm. The 810C uses Sierra's Platinum Sensor Technology to eliminate zero-drift and create excellent long-term reliability.
