Notice Title

Awarded - Mass flow controller (MFC) system

Notice Description

The National Physical Laboratory's requirement is for an automated mass flow controller system with vaporizer to be used in type testing facilities. The purpose is to deploy this gas flow control system in a programable and automated fashion, so the tests being carried out in the facilities can be run autonomously. The mass flow controllers must also be coated to minimize sample lost by wall reactions.
