- the mass flow controller MFC 2 may be controlled to increase the power from “0” to the set flow rate over time.
- This time is called the delay time ⁇ t, and the longer the delay time ⁇ t, the smaller the transient effect. That is, if the delay time ⁇ t is made variable, it is possible to cope with transient fluctuations occurring under various conditions.
- the delay time ⁇ t depends on the size of the set flow rate Q s, the pipe diameter, the type of fluid such as gas, etc. Therefore, it is better to empirically determine the delay time ⁇ t in these given conditions.
- the present inventors have considered that the mass flow controller has an inherent property that it is difficult to absorb the transient influence, and have intensively studied other methods not using the mass flow controller.
- the mass flow controller measures the flow rate from the amount of heat transfer carried by the fluid, so if the flow rate fluctuation is faster than the flow velocity, the flow rate control cannot easily follow the flow rate fluctuation. I came to think that it was hard to absorb.
- this pressure type flow controller is as follows. That is, when the orifice upstream pressure is about twice the orifice downstream pressure P 2 , the flow velocity through the orifice is sonic, and the flow rate Q c through the orifice is proportional to the orifice upstream pressure P: .
- the flow rate can be calculated immediately if only the upstream pressure is measured.

Therefore, the steady flow of the other flow paths can be stably maintained, and the steady control of a plurality of flow paths can be realized by one regulator.
- the delay time of the mass flow controller can be arbitrarily variably set, so that the most effective steady control can be realized.
- the pressure type flow control device is introduced as the flow control device, the speed of the flow control of each flow path can be increased, and the interfering transient fluctuation between the flow paths is absorbed by the high speed.

- the pressure type flow control device is initially set to the gas type A (for example, N 2 gas)
- the gas type B is controlled through the flow factor. Because it can be easily converted to a flow rate, a method is provided in which a single pressure type flow controller can be used for various types of gases. Therefore, compared to a conventional flow control device using a mass flow meter or a flow control method in which a mass flow meter is simply replaced with a pressure type flow control device, the flow rate is inexpensive and can respond to a wide range of gas types with high accuracy. The control method was realized.
- the method of claim 4 can be immediately applied, and the same utility as in claim 4 can be obtained.
