Mass Flow Controllers (MFCs) are useful for measuring and controlling the flow of liquids and gases. Commonly employed across a wide range of semiconductor, industrial and laboratory applications, MFCs offer low flow accuracy, repeatability and relative immunity to temperature and pressure fluctuations within the inlet flow. Here, Fluid Controls explains how Mass Flow Controllers work and spotlights our leading MFC suppliers. What is a Mass Flow...

Process control covers a variety of disciplines and technologies. It could be mass flow, pressure, fluid flow, temperature or position. Principles of process control follow the same rules of measurement followed by adjustment of a process variable to maintain control of the process. The more accurate the control, the higher quality the end product and, more importantly, the higher the profitability. Read on to find out more, as we explain the...

In simple terms, flow control is the term used to describe the regulation of the flow or pressure of liquid. Within fluid dynamics, flow control is a fundamental concept that involves regulating the rate of flow of fluids, most commonly liquids or gases, through a specific system.  In this article, the expert team here at Fluid Controls has put together this helpful guide on what a flow control system does and how it functions within industrial...
