High Performance Gas Flow Control. Minimal Footprint.
When space is at a premium, you shouldn’t have to compromise on flow control performance.
The Brooks Instrument AMF Series Mass Flow Controller brings precise, stable and highly configurable gas flow control into an ultra-compact package. Designed for demanding applications where equipment size, process stability and reliable gas delivery all matter, The AMF Series provides the performance needed for next-generation systems without taking up valuable space.
With ±0.6% accuracy, ±0.25% repeatability, up to 1000:1 turndown and flow rates up to 27 slpm, the AMF Series is designed to deliver precise control across a wide operating range. Advanced diagnostics, configurable alarms and EtherNet/IP connectivity provide additional visibility and make integration into modern equipment straightforward.
Precision Where It Matters
For low-flow and gas delivery applications, small variations in flow can have a significant impact on process performance.
The AMF Series is engineered to provide excellent low-flow stability, helping maintain consistent gas delivery even when operating conditions change. Its combination of accuracy, repeatability and wide turndown gives engineers greater flexibility when designing and operating their systems.
Key Performance Benefits
±0.6% accuracy
Precise flow measurement and control helps maintain the required process conditions and minimise unwanted variation.
±0.25% repeatability
Consistent performance from one operating cycle to the next supports stable, repeatable processes.
Up to 1000:1 turndown
A wide control range allows a single device to operate accurately across changing flow requirements, potentially reducing the need for multiple flow-control devices.
Excellent low-flow stability
Designed for applications where reliable control at lower flow rates is critical.
<0.005 sccm leak-by
Advanced valve technology provides extremely low leak-by for reliable shutoff, helping protect process integrity and minimise unwanted gas flow.
Superior sensor stability
Long-term sensor stability helps reduce drift and the need for frequent recalibration, supporting consistent operation over time.
These capabilities make AMF particularly well suited to applications where precision, repeatability and process control are critical.
Maximum Performance. Minimal Footprint.
Modern equipment is becoming smaller, more integrated and more sophisticated. Engineers need to fit more functionality into increasingly compact systems — without sacrificing performance.
The AMF Series has been developed specifically with this challenge in mind.
Its ultra-compact design provides high-performance gas flow control while helping engineers make better use of valuable equipment space. The AMF Series is approximately the size of a standard Post-it Note pad, giving equipment designers a compact option for applications where conventional mass flow controllers may be difficult to accommodate.
For OEM equipment, laboratory systems and integrated process platforms, this compact footprint can provide greater freedom when positioning components and designing system architecture.
Small footprint doesn’t have to mean small performance.
Advanced Control For Demanding Applications
The Brooks Instrument AMF Series isn’t simply designed to control gas flow, it provides the information and connectivity needed to monitor and manage modern processes.
Built-in diagnostics and configurable alarms
Integrated diagnostics provide greater visibility into device performance, while configurable alarms can help identify potential issues before they have a significant impact on the process.
For engineers and operators, this can mean:
- Better visibility of system performance
- Faster identification of potential problems
- Easier troubleshooting
- Greater confidence in process operation
- Reduced risk of undetected flow-control issues
By combining flow control with diagnostic capability, AMF helps turn the mass flow controller into a more informative part of the overall system.
EtherNet/IP connectivity
AMF incorporates EtherNet/IP communication, supporting integration with modern control architectures. An embedded web-based interface also provides a convenient way to configure and monitor the device.
This makes AMF particularly attractive for equipment manufacturers looking to integrate intelligent flow control into connected systems without adding unnecessary hardware or complexity.
Flexible Gas Flow Control Across a Wide Operating Range
The AMF Series is designed for gas applications requiring precise measurement and control across a broad range of flow conditions.
With flow capability of up to 27 slpm (27,000 sccm) and maximum operating pressure of 150 psi, the platform provides the capacity required for a variety of laboratory, process and OEM applications.
The wide turndown ratio is particularly valuable where flow requirements can change significantly during a process. Rather than designing around a narrow operating window, AMF can provide accurate and stable control across a much broader range.
That flexibility can help simplify system design and give equipment developers greater scope to accommodate different process recipes, operating conditions or future requirements.
Designed For Advanced Applications
The AMF Series is ideally suited to applications where precise gas delivery, compact equipment design and reliable process control are important.
Bioprocessing
Precise gas delivery is an important part of many bioprocessing applications. AMF provides the stability and control required for consistent gas flow in compact process equipment.
Benchtop bioreactors
Space is often limited in laboratory and benchtop systems. The AMF’s compact form factor provides high-performance flow control without unnecessarily increasing equipment size.
Thin film & advanced coatings
Applications involving controlled gas delivery can demand accurate, repeatable flow over changing operating conditions. AMF’s wide turndown and stable low-flow performance make it suitable for these demanding environments.
Optical fibre manufacturing
Consistent gas flow can be critical to process quality and repeatability. AMF provides precise control in applications where both performance and equipment footprint matter
Gas mixing
When multiple gases need to be delivered and controlled accurately, stable mass flow control is essential. AMF provides the control capability required for sophisticated gas mixing systems.
Analytical systems
Analytical equipment often demands precise gas delivery within compact system architectures. AMF combines the performance, connectivity and small footprint required for integrated analytical platforms.
