Bronkhorst mini CORI-FLOW mass flow meters

mini CORI-FLOWTM series by Bronkhorst are precise and compact Mass Flow Meters and Controllers, based on the Coriolis measuring principle. Designed to cover the needs of the low flow market, there are three models to overlap flow ranges from 5 g/h up to 30 kg/h (full scale values), each offering “multi-range” functionality: factory calibrated ranges can be rescaled by the user, maintaining the original accuracy specs.
