Quality and RHFS Service Help Drive Semiconductor Success

The Semiconductor industry has long been defined by speed and innovation. This applies not only to microprocessors, but also to construction schedules. Georg Fischer Piping Systems, a multinational manufacturer of fluid handling, measurement, and control products, has maintained a leadership position in this market for two decades by delivering high quality products with excellent service.
      Ultra Pure Water (UPW) is the lifeblood of a semiconductor Fab as it touches the wafer throughout all manufacturing steps. SYGEF Plus PVDF with IR Plus Fusion delivers a reliable high purity piping system that has satisfied the industry's most demanding specifications. But it is not enough to manufacture and deliver excellent products. The value is working with the installing contractor to ensure an efficient installation with little downtime. To accomplish this, GF Piping Systems and RHFS has invested in two critical areas:

  • Training Programs
  • Service and Technical Support
  • Local Inventories
First, it starts with training and educating the installers and QA/QC personnel on how to operate and service the machines in addition to detecting issues immediately. GF offers a tiered training program that focuses on machine operation, maintenance, and weld inspection. This program is widely popular and valued by distributors and installers. The United Association of Plumbers and Pipefitters liked it so much, it is now their exclusive training program for high purity installations.
     Second, GF maintains a Service Center in California with a number of highly trained technicians, 24-hour technical service, and an extensive inventory of machines and spare parts. Combined with the RHFS service distribution network with 26 US locations, customers know that no matter the problem the supply chain network can provide a machine on site within 24 hours.
     With over 700 IR Plus fusion machines in the US market, it is hard to find a better or more proven piping system solution than SYGEF Plus PVDF with IR Plus fusion from GF Piping Systems for UPW installations. A supply chain partnership with leading distribution companies such as RHFS makes the GF HP solution the supplier of choice. Call 1.800.848.1141 for more info.

High Purity Low Flow Measurement

Low flow measurement has always been a challenge in High-Purity applications. A new flow range configuration has just been added by McMillan Company in the 6.0 - 50.0 ml/min unit to enable accurate and reliable measurement of dramatically lower flow rates.
     The Model U707/708 FLO-SENSOR® is a small footprint PTFE unit designed for Ultra High Purity (UHP) and corrosive chemicals in critical applications. McMillan's patented micro-turbine technology is used to produce accurate and repeatable results with no particle generation. Flow ranges from 6.0 - 50.0 ml/min up to 1.0 - 10.0 l/min are available with a range of fitting sizes and electrical outputs.
     PTFE, Perfluoroelstomer and Sapphire wetted parts ensure compatibility with many chemicals including Deionised Water, acids, solvents, CMP slurries and Photoresist developers.
     The Model U707/708 integrates the sensing element with advanced electronics to provide output signals proportional to flow rate. Each unit is individually calibrated before shipment and supplied with a calibration certificate. A repeatability specification of 30.2% full scale on most ranges reassures process engineers of consistent results.
