Flow and Pressure Solutions for OEMs

High volume components and customized products to enhance your equipment and manufacturing processes

Custom engineered Alicat MCT

Makers of aerospace technology, medical devices, and other highly advanced equipment rely on Alicat® Scientific for the instruments that drive their manufacturing processes, assess quality, and play a crucial role in the products they make. Alicat’s team of engineers and application specialists are dedicated to finding your perfect solution, whether that’s streamlined, high‑volume meters engineered to spec, or applying Alicat technology to a brand new product—engineered, prototyped, and fabricated to meet your goals at our vertically integrated headquarters.

Custom engineered Alicat MCT

When you partner with Alicat’s custom engineering team, you get:

  • A highly technical and cross‑functional OEM team to look after all your needs, from design to costing to manufacturing
  • Simplicity in communication. We work with you to design and manufacture the solution from start to finish.
  • Reduced time to market, and better return on investment because of our lean processes
  • Custom branding for high volumes

At our design and manufacturing facility in Tucson, Arizona, our team of engineers relish every challenge, finding new ways to deliver flow and pressure management or gas mixing within confining parameters. Customers get prototypes back quickly, and easily fine tune proofs‑of‑concept because our culture of teamwork fosters spontaneous, cross‑disciplinary communication.

For over 25 years, Alicat has machined our own flow bodies, and assembled hardware and electronics in‑house. We’re not at the mercy of suppliers who have minimum order quantities and unpredictable lead times. This means we can meet any volume ordered and respond quickly when customers’ needs change.

Alicat’s custom and OEM instruments, gets you fast, comprehensive support by speaking with or emailing an applications engineer based in our U.S. headquarters, or one of our satellite offices in India, China, or the E.U.

Custom instruments for gas and liquid flow

Custom engineered Alicat PCU

Alicat flow and pressure instruments are always engineered to spec and manufactured on demand. Some users, however, need our instruments in particularly challenging environments or niche applications. As supporters of innovation and scientific discovery, we get excited about applying laminar DP, mems thermal, or Coriolis technology to new processes. Customizing the following features is most common, but we’re open to new ideas, too.

1. BROAD COMMUNICATIONS COMPATIBILITY

Our communications options serve 2/3 of all installed systems worldwide, so you can easily find a match to yours.

2. COMPACTNESS

We have a choice of technologies for producing compact and/or adaptable form‑factors

3. MATERIALS FLEXIBILITY

Whether the issue is durability, light‑weighting, chemical compatibility, or something else, we offer a broad range of materials and part shaping

4. POWER REQUIREMENTS

Adapted to limited, regulated, or regional variability. We’ve gone as stringent as Intrinsically Safe electronics for explosive atmospheres.

5. HIGHER TURNDOWN

We offer custom solutions with a 10,000:1 turndown ratio, empowering users with a wider range to calibrate in, with fewer components.

6. AMBIENT CONDITIONS AWARENESS

We make sure to meet the conditions the solution needs to endure.
