The intelligent combination of high-performance flow-rate measurements and a highly precise proportional valve turns Bürkert´s Liquid Flow Controller into a perfect solution for a large number of industrial applications. The integration of sensor, control electronics and proportional valves into a single compact device make the Liquid Flow Controller ideally suited for applications requiring the fully-automatic metered dosing of small amounts of liquids.

The Liquid Flow Controller (LFC) is fully compatible with Bürkert´s range of Mass Flow Controllers (MFC). It complements the company's portfolio of compact fluid control devices for the measurement and dosage of liquids with a nominal flow rate of 10 - 600 ml per minute and a span of 1:10. The LFC is based on the successfully proven and tested software, hardware and mechanics of the MFC series. Thanks to its compact design, the controller can be installed in difficult locations, such as directly behind angled piping.

In its Liquid Flow Controller, Bürkert has optimized the differential pressure process for liquid flow-rate measurements to give precise, fast and repeatable measurements in a highly compact device. The result is an efficient digital controller with convincing features:

* flow-rate measurements without moving parts inside the medium flow
* only high-quality materials used in contact with the medium
* integrated pre filter, replaceable
* configuration and diagnosis via serial interface with MassFlowCommunicator software
* etc.
