4 Test Procedure
4.1 Evaluate the transient characteristics from “OFF” to a flowing condition at final set point by a transition in set
point voltage only.
4.1.1 Apply a set point voltage sufficient to close the control valve following the manufacturer’s recommendation.
This may be a voltage other than zero, either positive or negative. Allow the output of the mass flow controller and
the actual flow, if any, to stabilize.
4.1.2 Apply the final set point value as shown in Table 1.

4.2 Evaluate the transient characteristics from “OFF” to a flowing condition at final set point by using an auxiliary
input to an MFC designed for the purpose.
4.2.1 Establish an “OFF” condition following the manufacturer’s recommendation. The setpoint should be applied
as shown in Table 1. Allow the output of the mass flow controller and the actual flow, if any, to stabilize.
4.2.2 Change the state of the auxiliary input to achieve control.
4.3 Evaluate the testing transient characteristics between two non-zero set point controlled flows.
4.3.1 Adjust the command to the “initial set point” in Table 1, and allow the actual flow (as measured by the master
reference standard) to stabilize.
4.3.2 Apply final set point as shown in Table 1.
4.4 Refer to Figures 3 and 4 to determine the dead time, step response time, settling time, overshoot, and
undershoot. Record the results in Table 1.
5 Test Results
5.1 Transient characteristics test results shall be presented as follows:
(1) “OFF” means the MFC set point is zero or the lowest value permitted.
(2) The control valve leak rate at shut-off shall be recorded.
(3) Other initial and final set points may be tested and reported.
(4) The transient characteristics of the MFC electrical output signal shall also be recorded during the above testing
for purposes such as comparison with the actual flow.
