Side-Trak Automates Gas Delivery in Metal Processing Applications

Worldwide aluminum prices and automotive industry demands are driving the requirement for improved flow measurement solutions in the primary metals industry. Many aluminum and steel manufacturers use Sierra¹s Model 840 mass flow controllers (MFCs) to inject purification, stirring and shielding gases to their melting, casting and annealing processes. Precise automated gas flow control reduces toxic emissions and material costs in these operations. It also ensures higher product quality and uninterrupted processing. Read complete story.


MODEL 840 BENEFITS

Direct monitoring of gas mass flow rate eliminates need for ancillary pressure and temperature transducers
Fast response control valve provides one second response to setpoint changes
Patented straight sensor reduces clogging and contamination problems
Primary standard calibration ensures starting point accuracy and NIST traceability
