Burkert Mass Flow Controller 8745 General Information
Burkert Mass Flow Controller 8745 for gases is suitable for mass flow control of high flow rates. Type 8745 can be configured as MFM or MFC. Burkert Mass Flow Controller 8745 can be configured as MFM or MFC. Optional, four different gases can be calibrated. The thermal inline sensor is located directly in the main gas stream and therefore reaches very fast response times while causing a very low-pressure drop.
A direct-acting proportional valve as regulating unit guarantees high sensitivity. The integrated PI controller ensures outstanding control characteristics of the MFC. MFC Type 8745 is available in two versions: with electromagnetic proportional valve and with motor-driven proportional valve.
Application
- Nominal flow ranges from 20 l/min up to 2500 l/min
- High accuracy and repeatability
- Communication via standard signals or Industrial Ethernet
- Electromagnetic and motor-driven valve actuation available
- Easy device exchange through configuration memory

Product Versions
Electromagnetic versions
Type 8745 can be configured as MFM or MFC. For MFCs the direct-acting proportional valves of Types 287x are used. These solenoid proportional valves are normally closed and stand for highest accuracy and repeatability with settling/response times of a few hundred milliseconds.
