Providing precision gas flow control
for a variety of food and beverage
processes, Alicat Scientific's MFC
series Mass Flow Controllers
accurately regulate flow of process
gases, attaining and maintaining flow
setpoints in less than 100ms. The
series can be used in sparging,
blanketing, filling and injection
processes in food and beverage
production.
The MFC series units are calibrated for 30 inert gases and a number of corrosive gases to quickly and accurately measure pressure, temperature and volumetric flow in addition to mass flow. Alicat's patented laminar flow differential pressure technology is said to deliver highly accurate results with a much faster response time than that of competing technologies.
