The new Masterflex Flow Controller from Cole-Parmer measures, controls, and logs fluid path information after receiving input from a flow sensor and then modifies the speed of the pump to support a set flow rate or dispense volume.

The new Masterflex Flow Controller from Cole-Parmer measures, controls, and logs fluid path information after receiving input from a flow sensor and then modifies the speed of the pump to support a set flow rate or dispense volume. The device is designed for the 33501-series Masterflex ultrasonic flow sensors and works with all Masterflex pumps.

The flow controller is lightweight and lets users select the size of the ultrasonic flow sensor connected to the controller via an LED color touchscreen. Users also have the option to choose from two separate modes: continuous flow or volume dispense mode. In continuous flow mode, the flow controller varies the output to the to the pump to maintain the flow rate set point. In volume dispense mode, the device runs the pump at a designated flow rate until the volume set point has been pumped, then it stops the pump operation.
