Mass Flow Controllers & Meters

M–Gas Mass Flow Meters

High-accuracy, multivariate flow measurement in real time

Measure mass flow, volumetric flow, line pressure and line temperature simultaneously, all in real time. A very wide usable flow range and on-board calibrations for multiple gases will make this flow meter the star of your lab.

• Accurate. Measure flows with NIST-traceable accuracy for a variety of gases down to 1/200th of full scale, or define your own gas composition with COMPOSER™.
• Easy to Use. As soon as you turn on the flow meter, it’s ready to display live flow, pressure and temperature readings in your choice of engineering units.
• Connected. Alicat flow meters feature dual digital and analog communications by default and can be ordered with EtherNet/IP, EtherCAT, DeviceNet, Profibus or Modbus (RTU and TCP/IP) communications for easy integration into your digital industrial or laboratory network.
• Portable. MB series portable flow meters are designed to be carried and can withstand drops if they should occur.

MW–Low Pressure Drop Gas Mass Flow Meters

High-accuracy, multivariate flow measurement with minimal system impact

“Whisper” series mass flow meters with low pressure drop are the perfect instruments for measuring mass and volumetric flow rates. Low pressure drop minimizes system impact, enabling flow measurement at near-atmospheric pressures or when there is little available system pressure. A very wide usable flow range and on-board calibrations for multiple gases will keep this flow meter in operation for a long time.

• Accurate. Measure flows with NIST-traceable accuracy for a variety of gases down to 0.01% of full scale, or define your own gas composition with COMPOSER™.
• Easy to Use. As soon as you turn on the flow meter, it’s ready to display live flow, pressure and temperature readings in your choice of engineering units.
• Connected. Alicat flow meters feature dual digital and analog communications by default and can be ordered with EtherNet/IP, EtherCAT, DeviceNet, Profibus or Modbus (RTU and TCP/IP) communications for easy integration into your digital industrial or laboratory network.
• Portable. MWB series portable flow meters are designed to be carried and can withstand drops if they should occur.

Bio-Series Mass Flow Meters & Controllers for Scalability in Bioprocessing

MQ–High Pressure Gas Mass Flow Meters

High-pressure, multivariate flow measurement in real time

The versatile MQ flow meter reduces the time it takes to verify or validate flows that are operating at high pressures (160-320 psia). Measure mass flow, volumetric flow, line pressure and line temperature simultaneously, all in real time.

• Accurate. Measure flows with NIST-traceable accuracy for a variety of gases down to 1/50th of full scale, or define your own gas composition with COMPOSER™.
• Easy to Use. As soon as you turn on the flow meter, it’s ready to display live flow, pressure and temperature readings in your choice of engineering units.
• Connected. Alicat flow meters feature dual digital and analog communications by default and can be ordered with EtherNet/IP, EtherCAT, DeviceNet, Profibus or Modbus (RTU and TCP/IP) communications for easy integration into your digital industrial or laboratory network.
• Portable. MBQ series portable flow meters are designed to be carried and can withstand drops if they should occur.

MB–Portable Gas Mass Flow Meters

Laboratory-grade flow verification, anywhere you need it

Stopping an operational process for validation or calibration is a necessary evil. Alicat’s portable flow calibrators make this procedure more palatable by reducing the downtime and disruption to your process. Instant-on and real-time readings for multiple gases across wide flow ranges let you get in and out quickly.

• Accurate. Calibrate flows with NIST-traceable accuracy for a variety of gases down to 1/10,000th of full scale, or define your own gas composition with COMPOSER™.
• Efficient. As soon as you power the MB on, it’s ready to display live flow, pressure and temperature readings in your choice of engineering units.
• Tough. MB series portable flow meters are designed to be carried and can withstand drops if they should occur.
