Brooks Instrument SLA7900 Series Metal-Sealed Mass Flow Controller
About this part
SLA7950S1EGG1M1E1 is a configured Brooks Instrument SLA7950S / SLA7900 Series high-purity metal-sealed thermal mass flow controller. Stored auction records for this exact code show two configured gas/range contexts: NF3 at 15 SLPM and N2O at 20 SLPM. Brooks SLA7900 documentation identifies SLA7950/SLA7960 as a 1.125 inch wide-profile high-purity metal-sealed thermal mass flow controller and meter platform for advanced gas handling systems
Unit-specific configuration
Observed configuration
Historical listing records identify this part as N2O at 20 SLPM. Exact gas, range, fittings, valve configuration, and communication interface must be verified from the physical unit label.
Configurations vary. Verify the exact unit before choosing a replacement.
