Notes :
MFC/MFM is calibrated by N2as a standard gas.
Units: SCCM (Standard Cubic Centimeter/Min);
SLM (Standard Liter/Min)
Standard Situation: Tem —273.15K ( 0 ºC );
Air Pressure —101325 Pa (760mm Hg)
For Sevenstar MFC/MFM, the unit of SCCM is identical to “mL/min, 0 ºC ,1atm”, and the unit of SLM
is identical to “L/min, 0 ºC ,1atm”.
F.S. : Full Scale
1.6 Calibration Features
Normally, the MFC are calibrated close to customer’s requirement ( the requirement
should be accorded with the specification). Without customer’s information, the MFC are
calibrated under standard conditions.
1.6.1 Standard conditions
Without special conditions specified by the customer, the MFC is calibrated under the
following standard conditions:
Pressure Outlet: Atmospheric.
Normally gas mass flow rate is transferred to gas volume flow rate at standard state.
Mass flow rate unit:
SCCM——standard cubic centimeter per minute.
SLM——standard liter per minute.
Standard state：Temperature —— 0ºC (273.15K)
Pressure —— 101325Pa (760mmHg)
At standard state, the gas density will be constant. The multiplication of density and
volume flow rate is equal to the mass flow rate. Therefore at the standard state, the volume
flow rate can represent mass flow rate.
The standard mounting position is horizontal, And other positions such as

7 of 38
vertical(inlet up or down)，flatwise or customized position are optional. The mounting
position should be specified by the customer to ensure the best accuracy.
1.6.2 Manufacturing Environment
The MFC are assembled in a class 100 clean room, calibrated, packaged and
controlled in class 1000 environment. The temperature is 22±3℃.
1.6.3 Precision Adjustment
Each MFC is accurately controlled for 24 hours after manufacturing on a different
calibration bench. The accuracy, the dynamic response, the stability to pressure
variations is double checked, only qualified product available for sale.
SECTION 2 INSTALLATION
2.1 General
WARNING: Toxic, corrosive or explosive gases must be handled with extreme care.
After installing the MFC, the system should be thoroughly checked to ensure it is leak-free.
Purge the MFC with a dry inert gas for one hour before using corrosive gases.
IMPORTANT: When installing the MFC, ensure that the arrow on the back of the unit
in the same direction as the gas flow.
2.2 Unpacking
The CS200-D MFC/MFM are assembled，calibrated and clean packaged under clean
room conditions. These series products are packaged with two separately sealed plastic
bags. The outside is common plastic bag, the inside is clean bag. The outside bag should be
removed in the entrance to the clean room. In order to minimize the contamination, the

8 of 38
second clean bag should be removed in the clean room when MFC installed in the system.
2.3 Mechanical Installation
2.3.1 General
Most applications will require a positive shutoff valve in line with the MFC.
Pressurized gas trapped between the two devices can cause purge effects, and consideration
must be given to the sitting of the shutoff valve (upstream or downstream) in relation to the
process sequencing. It is recommended that you install an in-line filter upstream to the
controller in order to prevent MFC from contamination.
CS200-D should be mounted in the position accord with the requirement in the
purchase order. The gas should be clean and dry. The mounting should be free from shock
or vibration. The pictures of the product are shown in figure2-1,the dimensions of the
product are shown in figure2-2, figure2-3a，figure2-3b，figure2-4 and figure2-5. Different
fittings(Compression Fittingφ6, Compression Fittingφ3,Compression Fitting1/4 ，
Compression Fitting1/8,VCR1/4 M, Compression Fitting3/8，1.5〞W-seal，1.5〞C-seal)
are optional for customer, The length of the product L are shown in Table 2-1. Do not
remove the protective end caps of the fittings until installation.

Attention :
The height (which is showing in figure 2-2 and figure 2-4 ) of 132mm are height without electric connectors
of cable. It should be added around 50mm more after adding the electric connector.
2.3.2 Installation
Place MFC according to the flow direction.
2.3.2.1 1/4VCR Connection
Refer to figure 2-6 and figure 2-7. Check the gland to gland space, including the
gaskets. Remove the plastic gland protector caps. When using loose VCR original style
gaskets, inserting the gasket into the female nut. For VCR retainer gaskets, snap the gasket
onto the male coupling. Tighten the nuts finger tight. Scribe both nut and body in order to
mark the position of the nut. While holding the body with a wrench, tighten the nut: 1/8
turn past finger tight for 316L stainless steel and nickel gaskets.

2.3.2.2 Two-ferrule (Compression Fitting) Connection
Refer to figure 2-7. Check the gland to gland space. Remove the gland protector caps.
Insert the tubing to the shoulder inside the fitting, and check that the ferrules are positioned
as shown in figure2-7. Tighten the nuts finger tight. Use two spanners, one spanner locking
the fitting stable, wrench another one to tighten in 1.25 turns to prove it’s not blow-by after
installing the front ferrule, back ferrule and nut.
Figure 2-8 Compression Fitting Connector Installation
Attention :
When installing the fitting, you should manually use spanner to wrench it tighten by 1/2 turn pulling up,
(imported Compression Fitting should use spanner to be tighten in 1,25 turns) to prove its not blow-by
after your installing the front ferrule 、back ferrule and nut. Please note you should use two spanners to
operating, one spanner for locking the fitting stable and another one for revolving the nut. Especially when
you dismantle the tube, you should operate by the two spanners otherwise fitting will become flexible
which will affect its airproof function.
