Type 8746 - Mass flow controller (MFC)/Mass flow meter (MFM) for gases

The depiction of the products may differ from the actual specific design.

Please consider the technical attributes.

Type Description

The mass flow controller (MFC) / meter (MFM) Type 8746 for gases is suitable for a wide range of applications, e.g. in metal and glass manufacturing or processing, fermentation processes, test benches or filling and packaging machines. Type 8746 is available in two variants: the version with several analogue or digital (communication) interfaces and the version with a pure CANopen based interface. The second version is suitable for the integration into existing CANopen networks, as well as Industrial Ethernet or fieldbus networks in combination with a Bürkert fieldbus gateway. This version is tailor-made for applications with many control loops. Up to 32 MFC / MFM can be connected to one fieldbus gateway. The gateway translates the internal CANopen based communication to industry standards for both Industrial Ethernet and fieldbuses. The mass flow controller / meter can always be switched between büS and CANopen communication. Type 8746 can be configured as MFM or MFC. Optional, up to four different gases calibrations can be stored in the device. The thermal Inline sensor is located directly in the main gas stream and therefore reaches fast response times and high accuracy, with a long-term stable flow calibration. A direct-acting proportional valve or a motor valve from Bürkert as regulating unit guarantees high sensitivity. The integrated PI controller ensures outstanding control characteristics of the MFC / MFM. Type 8746 is characterized by low pressure drop, even at high flow rates, and is particularly suitable for use in harsh environments due to high protection class and explosion-proof.

Nominal flow ranges from 20 lN/min up to 2500 lN/min
High accuracy and repeatability with fast response times
Long-term stability of flow calibration
Easy device exchange due to configuration memory
Optional: ATEX II Cat. 3G/D or USP Class VI, FDA, EG 1935 conformity
