Vögtlin SmartTrak® Series: Mass Flow Meters & Controllers
The Vögtlin SmartTrak® series consists of high-grade capillary mass flow meters (MFM) and mass flow controllers (MFC) for gases, specially developed for applications requiring high accuracy, chemical resistance and process stability. This series offers a reliable solution for both industrial processes and analytical systems that require high-grade gas flow measurement and control.
Key properties
Capillaire mass flow technologie
Thermal measurement via a capillary tube delivers very accurate mass flow data and a stable measuring signal, insensitive to pressure and temperature fluctuations.
Hoge meetnauwkeurigheid
SmartTrak® meters and controllers offer an accuracy of up to ±0,5 % of full scale, ensuring reliable results in critical applications.
316L roestvast staal natte delen
All gas-carrying parts are made of 316L stainless steel, making the SmartTrak® series ideal for dry, clean and corrosive gases.
Breed toepassingsgebied
Thanks to the combination of accuracy and choice of materials, SmartTrak® instruments are suitable for laboratory environments, process monitoring and industrial applications using aggressive media.
Analogue and digital interfaces
SmartTrak® units can be fitted with classic analogue outputs, but are also compatible with digital communication standards for integration into automated systems.
Compact and robust design
The series is designed for reliable operation in everyday applications and for integration into OEM systems or test setups.
Applications
The SmartTrak® series is widely used in situations such as:
- Measuring and controlling gas flows in laboratory environments
- Process control of aggressive or corrosive gases
- Precision gas dosing and gas distribution
- OEM-integratie in analytische instrumentatie
- Industries with high demands on measurement accuracy and chemical resistance
Thanks to the capillary measuring principle and the high-grade stainless steel version, this series is ideally suited for applications that require exceptionally reliable measurement.
