Cleaning the inside of your device<\/h2>\n

Sometimes the inside of your device needs cleaning. This may be the case if bits of pipe tape become lodged in the laminar flow elements, or if dirty gases or liquids have entered your Alicat.<\/p>\n

We recommend flushing it with IPA (Isopropyl alcohol) followed right away by dry N2 or air purge for at least 20 minutes. The IPA needs to be 95% pure or greater.<\/p>\n

You should never open the flow body, because this will render your calibration invalid.<\/strong> Instead, call Alicat or visit alicat.com\/service<\/a> to request a professional cleaning. Following the cleaning, we will recalibrate your device to keep it in tip-top operation.<\/p>\n

Rolamite valve cleaning<\/h3>\n

You can, however, open up our large Rolamite valves to clean their belts and gratings of any debris or metal filings that have been captured by their strong magnets. This video shows you how to disassemble, clean, and reassemble a Rolamite valve in real time.<\/p>\n

To clean the outside of your device, use a gentle electronics cleaner and a microfiber cloth. For tougher stains or residues, apply isopropyl alcohol to the cloth.<\/p>\n

The video below demonstrates how to clean the outside of your device.<\/p>\n

\n
A customer asks, \u201cHow do I clean my mass flow device?\u201d First, get these items. To clean the outside of your Alicat and its ports, apply a gentle electronics cleaner to a lint-free cloth, and wipe down all surfaces. Use isopropyl alcohol to remove tough residues. Viscous oils, rust build-up and shredded teflon tape or other debris can clog the thin laminar flow elements or flow screens of your device and degrade its performance.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
<\/div>\n
\n
Do not open the flow body! This will ruin your calibration and void your warranty. Instead, contact Alicat to request a professional internal cleaning of your unit. Our service technicians will clean and recalibrate your device to restore its performance and accuracy.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
<\/div>\n
Keep your Alicat in top-notch condition: Call Alicat or visit alicat.com\/service today!<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
