The Smart Series was developed by Brooks facilities in The Netherlands. Since its European release, Brooks has built up a successful installed base of over 15,000 digital mass flow instruments throughout the world. The Smart Series of digital thermal mass flow products accurately measure full scale gas flows from 0.003 to 36,000 slpm, and control flows from 0.003 to 1,000 slpm. Microprocessor based digital technology enables the Brooks Smart Series to provide significantly improved performance, reliability and flexibility over traditional analog based instruments. Digital communication supports plug and play interface between field and peripheral equipment in both analog and digital environments.
Digital performance ensures improved process accuracy, repeatability and response time.
The Smart Series features adaptive valve control that corrects for variations in line pressures and other variable process conditions. Brooks has also released a series of companion software applications for Smart Series products. Brooks Smart Control simplifies the readout of ongoing process conditions and supports in-situ configuration of the DMFC's parameters. A third software program, Brooks Smart Service, provides access to all necessary parameters for service and calibration. Brooks Instrument was the first instrumentation manufacturer in the world to receive ISO 9001 quality certification.
