Type 8756 - Mass Flow Controller / Mass Flow Meter for Liquids from Bürkert

Type 8756 - Mass Flow Controller / Mass Flow Meter for Liquids from BürkertThe mass flow controller (MFC) / mass flow meter (MFM) Type 8756 is particularly suitable for the very precise measurement or control of small quantities of liquid that also require a medium-separated sensor. The measuring principle of the sensor is based on the Coriolis effect and is completely independent of the medium. Pressure and temperature deviations have no impact on the measuring accuracy. In addition to the flow rate, the density and temperature of the liquid are measured. The device design enables a stable flow measurement that is robust to external impacts and does not require a zero-point adjustment when the process conditions change. All wetted materials are highly resistant and allow use for a wide range of liquids, whether aggressive or neutral media. Type 8756 is available in the variants MFM, MFC with an interface for a modular actuator, MFC with integrated proportional valve and MFC with integrated micro annular gear pump. The high-precision pump is self-priming and the space in contact with the medium is sealed hermetically. It offers a very large control range and generates extremely low pulsations. This variant is used as a control or dosing system for liquids which have to be conveyed from an unpressurised container.

Q & A

Q&A Section with Expand/Collapse Icons

Type 8756 - Mass Flow Controller / Mass Flow Meter for Liquids Q & A:

+ What is the Type 8756 used for?
It’s a Coriolis-based mass flow meter/controller (MFM/MFC) designed for highly accurate measurement and control of small liquid flow rates.
+ What measurement range does it support?
Capable of controlling flows up to 120 kg/h (or 25 kg/h in some low-flow variants).
+ Does it measure density and temperature too?
Yes—its Coriolis sensor provides simultaneous measurement of mass flow, density, and temperature.
+ Is the sensor affected by pressure or temperature changes?
No, the Coriolis-based measurement is independent of pressure and temperature fluctuations.
+Can it handle aggressive or corrosive liquids?
Yes—all wetted parts are made from materials resistant to aggressive and neutral media (e.g., stainless steel 316L).
