Overview
For high-performance digital mass flow control of gases in industrial environments, MaxTrak® 180 is CE approved and meets the rigorous requirements of NEMA 6 and IP67.
The 180 is suited for dirty industrial processes such as those found in metals and ceramics manufacturing and combustion control systems, as well as the washdown environments in chemical processing, pharmaceutical, biotech and the food and beverage industry.
MaxTrak is available with 316 stainless-steel flanges for the heaviest industrial environments, count on MaxTrak to provide you with the reliability you need in any harsh environment.
For industrial applications, the MaxTrak 180 thermal mass flow controller is a true multi-gas digital MFC designed to deliver smooth, stable, accurate, and repeatable gas mass flow control with extremely low pressure drop. Unaffected by upstream gas temperature and pressure fluctuations, gas mass flow control is direct and unequivocal.
Pilot Module: With a remote mounted pilot module display/interface you can view and change every aspect of SmartTrak 180 in the field with the push of a button. Simply choose a gas from the menu and it’s ready to go, without losing any accuracy. You can also adjust engineering units, flow range, and set zero, span and full scale independently for each gas.
Quality Calibration: SmartTrak’s NIST traceable accuracy is backed by our ten point, primary standard calibration over the entire flow range. MaxTrak has a strong and flexible flow control valve with accessible PID valve tuning to assure best speed and reliability. Custom valve orifice sizing yields full-range stability. If you need something special, Sierra customizes often free of charge.

DIY Calibration: If you prefer to calibrate your own mass flow meters and controllers in-house, Sierra provides all necessary software and training and even the flow calibration standards required for the job.
Software & Digital Communications: Free user software and a variety of communications protocols like Modbus, Profibus and Foundation Fieldbus, make every SmartTrak easy to integrate into your digital communications network.
Special Pricing: We work with you to meet budget requirements and cost targets. Ask about OEM volume discounts.
The Thermal Advantage: Thermal mass flow technology is an industry standard for mass flow control of gases because it measures flow directly, at the molecular level. In essence, counting and controlling every gas molecule flowing through the instrument to achieve unmatched precision.
Accuracy and application flexibility result from:
- Thermal mass flow technology provides direct mass flow
- A patented, inherently linear Laminar Flow Element (LFE) design
- Advanced platinum-wound capillary sensor technology
- Proprietary frictionless, hovering control valve

Rule-of-Four Calibration: The ONLY Guarantee of Accuracy!
At Sierra, we have a saying: “Instrument accuracy is only as good as its calibration.”
Sierra is one of few manufacturers today that perform a detailed 10-point calibration across the entire mass flow range. We strictly adhere to using primary standards and the NIST “rule of four”. This means our gas flow primary standards are required to be four times more accurate than the device under test.
This “rule of four” is Sierra’s calibration bedrock and absolutely essential for the quality you demand. When researching your next MFC, ask about calibration.
