C2V contributed to the development of the QUANTIM™ mass flow controller of Brooks Instrument, a US based company. This product is a small and accurate Coriolis mass flow controller, for which the miniaturization enabled unprecedented accuracy at low flows, and the scaling down required a disruptive innovation.
The QUANTIM™ mass flow controller virtually eliminates the application dependency of traditional low-flow control devices. The advantage of measuring through the Coriolis effect is that it measures actual, rather than derived, mass flow regardless of the form of the mass.
Packaged in a miniaturized configuration, this device handles many of the low flow gas, liquid and vapour applications currently being accommodated with thermal mass flow devices. Several versions of the QUANTIM™ flow controller, have been taken into production by Brooks, and are available on the market (www.brooksinstrument.com/flowmeter-flowcontroller-products/coriolis-thermal-mass-flow/). Microsystem technology adds value to the product by enabling higher performance at lower costs, and has opened new markets and increased potential market penetration for Brooks Instrument.
