Hatfield, Pennsylvania (March 13, 2008) — Brooks Instrument has won the Gold Award in the 2008 Golden Gas Awards Competition in the category Mass Flow Measurement & Control for its model 4800 Series mass flow products.  The award by the publishers of Gases & Instrumentation magazine was announced February 29, 2008, and was presented by publisher Paul Nesdore to Brooks Instrument’s vice president of sales, Steve Fierce at the PITTCON show in New Orleans on March 5, 2008.
Entries for all products submitted were judged by experts from academia and government, who were selected based on their expertise in the areas of technology that matched the award categories. Criteria for the winning selections were:
- Product’s ability to solve an important challenge to the gas industry
- If an improved product, the extent and effectiveness of that improvement
- Technological innovativeness
- Environmental “green” attributes
- Superior specifications in terms of power requirements, speed, footprint, portability (if applicable), maintenance, cost effectiveness, and other quality considerations
Brooks’ Model 4800 Mass Flow Meter/Controller was introduced to the market in January 2007. It offers a broad flow range, fast response time, compact size and many other benefits for a variety of applications. Engineered with a microelectromechanical system (MEMS) sensor, the 4800 Series delivers exceptionally fast response to changes in gas flow rate. The MEMS sensor achieves extremely fast response rates compared to typical thermal technologies by allowing the gas to flow directly across the sensor. The compact sensor also enables a reduction in size compared to traditional thermal mass flow devices.
