Abstract

A mass flow controller includes a mass flow sensor and a calibrator configured to perform a self-calibration on the mass flow controller. The calibrator generates flow measurements that are used as “standards” and flow measurements from the mass flow sensor are correlated to flow measurements from the calibrator.
