Brooks Instrument GF126 High-Flow Mass Flow Controller
About this part
GF126CXXC is a configured Brooks Instrument GF126 high-flow metal-sealed thermal mass flow controller identifier in the GF100 Series family. Official Brooks GF100 documentation identifies GF126 as the high-performance, high-flow PTI variant with a 5 Ra UHP wetted flow path and integrated pressure measurement, while the CXXC portion maps only to partial configuration context: MultiFlo capable, standard application, and normally closed valve. Gas, flow range, fittings, communication interface, downstream condition, and any customer-specific suffix details must still be verified from the complete unit label or build record
Configurations vary. Verify the exact unit before choosing a replacement.

Specifications
Identification
Device type
Configured GF126 high-flow metal-sealed thermal mass flow controller
Series family
Brooks GF100 Series high-purity and ultra-high-purity thermal mass flow controllers and meters
Configured part number
GF126CXXC
GF126 role
Brooks ordering information identifies GF126 as the high-performance, high-flow model with pressure transient insensitivity
Configuration
Partial code interpretation
In Brooks GF101/GF121/GF126 ordering tables, GF126 means 55 to 300 slm N2-equivalent high-flow package with 5 Ra UHP wetted flow path and integrated pressure measurement; C means MultiFlo capable; XX means standard application; the final C means normally closed valve
Configured-unit rule
GF126CXXC is an incomplete code fragment for a configured device; gas, full-scale flow range, fitting package, downstream condition, sensor orientation, connector, customer special request, auto shut-off, auto zero, and reference temperature require the full model code or unit label
Applications
Application domain
Semiconductor, MOCVD, thin-film, purge, and other high-purity gas flow control applications requiring an all-metal flow path
Flow
GF126 full-scale flow context
Brooks GF101/GF121/GF126 specifications list a 55 slm to 300 slm N2-equivalent full-scale flow range; the exact configured range for GF126CXXC must be read from the complete model code or unit label
Gas/range programmability
The C configurability code indicates MultiFlo-capable GF126 context; supported gas and range selections depend on the configured gas code or SH MultiFlo bin
Performance
Flow accuracy context
Brooks GF101/GF121/GF126 specifications list +/-1% of set point from 35-100% and +/-0.35% full scale from 2-35%, based on factory N2 calibration
Repeatability and reproducibility
Brooks GF101/GF121/GF126 specifications list repeatability and reproducibility as less than +/-0.15% of set point
Response time
Brooks GF101/GF121/GF126 specifications list normally closed valve response time as less than 1 second
Pressure transient insensitivity
Brooks ordering instructions identify GF126 as the high-performance, high-flow model with PTI
Ratings
Operating temperature range
10 to 50 deg C in official Brooks GF101/GF121/GF126 specifications

Brooks GF101/GF121/GF126 specifications list controller maximum operating pressure as 75 psig and meter maximum operating pressure as 150 psig
Materials
Wetted path standard
Brooks GF101/GF121/GF126 specifications list SEMI F20 HP compliant wetted-material context
Wetted materials
Brooks GF101/GF121/GF126 specifications list 316L VIM/VAR, Hastelloy C-22, 316L stainless steel, 304 stainless steel, and KM-45 wetted material context
Surface finish context
Brooks product-code tables identify GF126 as a 5 Ra UHP wetted flow path package
Mechanical
Valve context
The final C in GF126CXXC maps to normally closed valve in the official GF101/GF121/GF126 product-code table
Controls
Communication interfaces
Brooks GF100-family documentation covers RS485/Analog, DeviceNet, and EtherCAT communication options; the actual connector and protocol require the full configured model code
Display and diagnostics
Diagnostics
Official GF101/GF121/GF126 specifications list status lights, alarms, top-mount integrated LCD context, and an RS485 diagnostic/service port depending on configuration
