Mass flow controllers with clamp connection – ideal for biotech applications

Our mass flow controllers are now available in a clamp variant. This makes them ideal for areas of application with stringent hygiene requirements.

MFC Clamp Connection

Installing fluid measuring and/or control devices always means interfering with a closed pipeline, thus introducing a potential vulnerability. However, biotech applications in particular need reliable and safe pipe connections, often subject to certain hygiene requirements. But how can such connections be implemented while also allowing for quick and easy equipment replacement in the event of a malfunction or service?

Clamp connection: proven connection technology for meeting biotech requirements

Clamp connections are a reliable and safe way to connect measuring and control devices to pipelines. When correctly installed, they are sealed and leak-free without the need for additional seal materials such as Teflon tape. Furthermore, they have no dead spaces, making them particularly suitable for hygienic applications where it is essential to avoid residue in the pipelines. 

On the exterior, too, clamp connections made of stainless steel are also easy to clean, making them particularly suitable for the installation of mass flow controllers (MFCs) directly in the system, without the need for a control cabinet. For these reasons, they have a long history of use in biotech applications, as well as in the food industry, chemical industry, and pharmaceutical industry.

The clamp connections of our new MFCs comply with the ASME BPE standard and are available for all flow ranges.  

Quick and easy installation of mass flow controllers

For measuring and control devices that are directly integrated into the system, clamp connections offer additional advantages. For instance, mass flow meters need to be regularly calibrated to ensure precise and reliable measurements. The device swap required in order to perform the calibration can be carried out quickly and easily thanks to the detachable connection of the clamp fittings. No additional seal material is required even if the connections are repeatedly opened.

When MFCs with clamp connection are the ideal choice for you – the benefits at a glance:

✓ Hygienic pipe connection with no dead spaces
✓ Sealed, safe, and reliable
✓ Quick & easy to exchange
