Mass Flow Controller - MassTrak® 810C

/

Economical Analog Mass Flow Controllers

Designed to control the flow of air and ALL inert gases & mixtures, our MassTrak® Model 810C meets the same performance criteria as any industry-standard MFC at an affordable price.  Our Model 810C is available with a large LCD readout and provides two simultaneous analog output signals, 0-5 VDC and 4-20 mA. The control valve features a purge mode and a valve close command from an external contact. The built-in setpoint control and simple 24 VDC power supply eliminate the need for a separate power supply and readout electronics that can cost as much as a new MFC.

Sierra's Model 810C is available in your choice of engineering units at flow ranges from 0-10 sccm to 0-50 slpm. The 810C uses Sierra’s Platinum Sensor Technology to eliminate zero-drift and create excellent long-term reliability.

Sierra Instruments Warranty & Support

Limited Warranty - Product - Liability for Repair and Replacement Only

All Sierra products are warranted to be free from defects in material and workmanship and will be repaired or replaced at no charge to Buyer, provided return or rejection of product is made within a reasonable period but no longer than one (1) year for calibration and non-calibration defects, from date of delivery. To assure warranty service, customers must register their products online on Sierra’s website. Online registration of all of your Sierra products is required for our warranty process. Register now at http://www.sierrainstruments.com/register. 

This warranty does not cover any damage or discoloration caused by corrosion due to gases, liquids, or any other source, nor does it cover normal wear of any seals in its products and with gases other than air, or unless otherwise specified in the contract. Such returns are contingent on Sierra's examination and reasonable satisfaction that any defects are covered by this warranty and that the Buyer has not returned the equipment in a damaged condition, due to any negligence, tampering, misapplication or product modification on the part of the Buyer or his agents. Sierra shall not be liable for installation charges, for expenses of Buyer for repairs or replacement, for damages from delay or loss of use, or other indirect or consequential damages of any kind.

Sierra extends this warranty only to Sierra products properly used and properly installed for the particular application for which intended and quoted, and this warranty does not cover products which have been modified without Sierra's approval or which have been subjected to unusual physical or electrical stress, alteration, or tampering, or upon which the original identification marks have been removed or altered. Whenever the design of the equipment to be furnished or the system in which it is to be incorporated originates with the Buyer, Sierra's warranty is limited specifically to matters relating to furnishing Sierra equipment free of defects in materials and workmanship and Sierra assumes no responsibility for implied warranties of fitness for purpose or use. Any replacement or repair shall be to Sierra's factory, unless otherwise directed. No items shall be returned for warranty repair without prior written authorization from Sierra.

Note: Sierra’s InnovaSwitch™ Flow Level Switches come with a two (2) year warranty with the above stipulations. 

Lifetime Limited Warranty on Patented DrySense™ Sensor Technology

In addition to Sierra’s standard one (1) year manufacturing warranty on all instruments produced, Sierra also offers a lifetime warranty on all DrySense™ sensors standard with Sierra models 640i, 780i, 640S, 780S, and 670S instruments sold after January 1, 2010.  This warranty does not extend to the Model 620S, the BoilerTrak™, the HT (High Temperature) 640S/780S sensor or the 780S UHP (Ultra High Purity) sensors. To assure warranty service, customers must register their products online on Sierra’s website.

Operating Principle

The 810 MassTrak Flow Sensing Principle

The operating principle of Mass-Trak transducers is based on heat transfer and the first law of thermodynamics. During operation process gas enters the instrument's flow body, where it encounters the laminar flow bypass. The laminar flow bypass generates a pressure drop, P1~P2, forcing a small fraction of the total flow to pass through the sensor tube (m1). The remainder of the flow continues through the body (m2).

Two resistance temperature detector (RTD) coils around the sensor tube direct a constant amount of heat (H) into the gas stream. In actual operation, the gas mass flow carries heat from the upstream coil to the downstream coil. The resulting temperature difference (OT) is detected by the RTD coils and gives the output signal. Since the molecules of the gas carry away the heat, the output signal is linearly proportional to gas mass flow.

The RTD coils are legs of a bridge circuit with an output voltage in direct proportion to the difference in the coils' resistance; the result is the temperature difference (OT). Two other parameters, heat input (H) and coefficient of specific heat (Cp) are both constant. The resulting output is nearly linear over the transducer's normal operating range.

For mass flow controllers, once the gas flows through the monitoring section, it is then controlled by the built-in servo-control valve. All models of the Mass-Trak utilize Sierra's proprietary high efficiency Fast-Trak Electromagnetic Valve. The normally closed Fast-Trak valve is similar to an on/off solenoid valve, except that the current to the valve coil, and hence the magnetic field, is modulated so that the ferromagnetic valve armature, or valve plug, assumes the exact height above the valve's orifice required to maintain the valve's command flow. The result is nearly infinite resolution.
