The MKS Instruments 1179A Mass-Flo® 1179A11CR1BV-SPCAL is a general-purpose mass flow controller with elastomer seals, engineered for precise measurement and control of gas mass flow rates across semiconductor processing, analytical instrumentation, and chemical reaction monitoring applications. This normally-closed device operates across full-scale ranges from 10 sccm to 20 slm and delivers ±1.0% of full-scale accuracy in analog configurations, with exceptional zero stability and minimal span drift.
