Description
Matheson 8160 Mass Flow Meter 0-5 VDC Output 115V AC Benchtop Gas Flow SCCM
The Matheson 8160 is a benchtop mass flow meter designed to measure gas flow rates in standard cubic centimeters per minute (SCCM). It features a front-panel LED numeric display that reads flow rate directly, an on/off toggle switch, and a rear-mounted 0–5 VDC analog output for interfacing with data acquisition systems or controllers. The unit is powered by 115V AC and the front panel label indicates it is configured for AIR measurement.

Applications
Mass flow meters like the Matheson 8160 are standard instruments in laboratory and process environments where precise gas flow measurement is required. They are commonly used in semiconductor fabrication, chemical vapor deposition (CVD), thin-film processing, gas blending, environmental testing, and university research labs. The 0–5 VDC analog output makes the 8160 straightforward to integrate with data loggers, PLCs, or automated process controllers. Matheson Gas Products has a long history supplying gas handling and measurement instruments to industrial and scientific users, and instruments of this type from the 1980s and 1990s remain in service in legacy process systems and research settings where their robust analog design is well-suited to the application.
This Matheson 8160 Mass Flow Meter powers on and the LED display illuminates, confirming the unit receives power. We were not able to test gas flow or verify the output signal beyond the power-on check. The unit is being sold in as-inspected condition based on the power-on observation. The chassis shows normal wear consistent with prior lab use. Please view our photo set and contact us if you have any questions.
