Sierra’s Smart-Trak® 50 Series OEM Flow Controller has been honored by the readers of Flow Control Magazine with their annual Product Innovation Award for its advances in flow measurement technology.

Whether you’re a machine builder, systems integrator or end-user, Sierra Instruments designed the Smart-Trak 50 mass flow controller unit for you!

With the same advanced core sensor and valve and bypass (LFE) technology of our award-winning Smart- Trak® 100, the Smart-Trak 50 meter offers cost-efficient pricing and expedited, off-the-shelf delivery at no extra charge. OEMs and end-users that buy this mass flow rate controller in volume are eligible for deep price reductions. We will even customize the 50 Series for your operation at no charge.

"By reducing the number of parts by almost 40 percent, automating calibration and leveraging a strong, global supplier base, we’re able to deliver our signature ’Smart-Trak’ quality and performance in an OEM package."

– Matthew J. Olin, President of Sierra Instruments
