Whisper™ MWB–Series: Portable Low Pressure Drop Mass Flow Meters

Whisper™ MWB-Series Portable Low Pressure Drop Mass Flow Meters measure mass and volumetric flow rates with pressure drops as low as 0.07 PSID (4.8 mbarD) for systems with little available pressure.

Whisper devices are built for processes with little available inlet pressure or a large amount of back pressure. These devices have a larger flow body and uniquely arranged laminar flow elements, resulting in pressure drops up to 10x lower than standard devices. Whisper instruments also utilize a much more sensitive pressure sensor package to take full advantage of the lower pressure readings.
