Portable Flow Meters

Handheld Flow Measurement Solutions

Field engineers now have an easy way to measure and verify flow of installed instruments.
Companies spend time and money to verify that installed equipment in the field is working properly. In most cases, the equipment has to be removed from service and sent to a metrology lab or an in house testing center for verification. Removal of installed equipment takes time and in some cases requires that the process be shut down for removal and in some cases stay down until the device under test is returned from testing.
In an effort to help companies save time and money Alicat has developed the 9Vdc battery pack attachment to convert most Alicat flow meters and pressure gages into internally powered and easily portable measurement instruments. The Alicat battery pack is able to power any Alicat flow meter with a standard 9V battery

Add Alicat's Industrial Carrying Case for a rugged, field ready flow verification device or transfer standard.

Alicat portable flow meters allow the user to quickly and effectively:
" Verify proper operation of equipment, including other manufacturers mass flow meters and mass flow controllers.
" Maintain equipment settings as components within the system wear down.
" Search for leaks in the system utilizing the pressure reading.
" Install equipment and perform initial tuning and adjustments.
" Perform periodic system checks for quality control.

Customization options

" Alternate STPs to simplify comparisons to other flow devices
" High accuracy calibration of +/-0.4% of reading + 0.2% of full scale
" Gas mixture calibrations
" Integrated totalizer for tests that require long term averaging

Mass Flow Controller and Volumetric Flow Controller Features

Measured Parameters MC & MCR Series Mass Flow Controller products measure " Mass Flow " Volumetric Flow " Pressure (PSIA) " Temperature (? Celsius or ? Farenheit) VC & VCR Series Volumetric Flow Meter products " Volumetric Flow	All measured parameters are displayed in real time on digital display. Any measured parameter can be selected to the center of the display.

Versatility " Pressure and temperature measurements are taken and displayed in the same unit alleviating the need for additional measurement devices. (MC & MCR Series) " Mass flow controllers can be set by user to control pressure. It's like having 2 instruments in one. (MC & MCR Series) " MFCs can be tuned for application specific control " Multiple digital & analog inputs and outputs " Digital and analog input and output available on the same device " 100:1 Turndown ratio allows the MFC to measure flow at 1/100th of its full scale rating " 30-Gas Select on all units to reduce inventory costs " Control range from 1% to 100% of full scale flow " Tunable P & D to fine tune instrument's speed of response " Optional Remote Display allows for panel mount of the display with full pushbutton control in embedded applications " Optional Remote Electronics allows devices to be installed in high heat applications by separating the flow element from the electronics.
