TEST METHOD FOR DETERMINING ACCURACY, LINEARITY,
REPEATABILITY, SHORT-TERM REPRODUCIBILITY, HYSTERESIS,
AND DEADBAND OF THERMAL MASS FLOW CONTROLLERS
This test method was technically approved by the Global Gases Committee and is the direct responsibility of
the North American Gases Committee. Current edition approved by the North American Regional Standards
Committee on July 11, 2004. Initially available at www.semi.org September 2004; to be published
November 2004. Originally published December 1996.
1 Purpose
1.1 The purpose of this document is to provide a
standardized method to quantify the accuracy, linearity,
repeatability, short-term reproducibility, hysteresis, and
deadband of a thermal mass flow controller.
1.2 The intent of this document is not to suggest any
specific testing program but to specify the test method
to be used when testing for parameters that are covered
by this method. The user might use this document to
check significant performance characteristics such as
accuracy, precison, bias, repeatability, linearity, short-
term reproducibility, and deadband under a set of
closely controlled test conditions.
1.3 The significance of the accuracy calculations in
this method is to allow an MFC user to transfer a
process from one manufacturing tool to another and to
exchange MFCs within a single manufacturing tool
while maintaining process control.
2 Scope
2.1 This document describes the conditions and
procedures for testing the accuracy, linearity,
repeatability, hysteresis, and deadband of thermal mass
flow controllers (MFCs). Because of the generic nature
of this document, not all test procedures apply to all
types of MFCs.
2.2 This document provided a common basis for
communication between manufacturers and users.
NOTICE: This standard does not purport to address
safety issues, if any, associated with its use. It is the
responsibility of the users of this standard to establish
appropriate safety and health practices and determine
the applicability of regulatory or other limitations prior
to use.
3 Limitations
3.1 It is not practical to evaluate performance under all
possible combinations of operating conditions. This
test procedure should be applied under laboratory
conditions; its intent is to collect sufficient data to form
a judgement of the field performance of the MFC being
tested.

5.2 Definitions
5.2.1 accuracy — the closeness of agreement between
an observed value and the true value; the total
uncertainty of an observed value, including both
precision and bias.
5.2.2 accuracy curve — the curve fitted through the
average measured values over the specified range of the
device under test.
5.2.3 accuracy device — the total uncertainty over a
specified range of the device. Device accuracy over a
range is stated as the worst case accuracy taken over all
tested setpoints in this range.
5.2.4 actual flow — the gas flow as measured by an
external standard, not the electrical output of a mass
flow meter.
5.2.5 bias — the difference, at a setpoint, between the
measured value and the sum of the setpoint value and
the zero offset. The measured values of a flow standard
include its total uncertainty.
5.2.6 cardinal setpoint — a specific setpoint to assess
the accuracy of the device under test (DUT). For this
test method, the cardinal setpoints are 10%, 20%, 30%,
40%, 50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, 90%, and 100% of full
scale.
5.2.7 deadband — the range through which a setpoint
may be varied, upon reversal of direction, without
initiating an observable change in output signal.
5.2.8 device under test — mass flow device is being
tested by this method.
5.2.9 downscale reading — a reading approached from
a setpoint greater than the current setpoint and beyond
the deadband.
5.2.10 downscale value, average — the sum of all
downscale readings, in one cycle, at a single setpoint,
divided by the number of these values.
5.2.11 drift — the change in output over a specified
time period for a constant input under specified
reference operating conditions.
5.2.12 drift, long-term — the drift between a series of
tests over a specified time interval. This specified time
interval is generally much greater than the time
necessary to run an individual test.
5.2.13 drift, short-term — the drift between sets of
measurements over the duration of the test.
