Are the mass flow controllers accurate all the way down to zero flow?
The mass flow controllers are rated for +/- 1% full-scale flow from 2% to 100% of the calibrated full-scale flow. If a wider range is required, multiple mass flow controllers for a single gas may be added for ‘range control’. As an example, a 100 lpm mass flow controller is only accurate down to 2 lpm so it may be desirable to also include a 5 slpm mass flow controller in parallel.
