Alicat Scientific's MB series portable
mass flow and liquid flow meters use
a 9V battery pack to make metering
gas flow, pressure, or water flow in
the field and lab convenient and
reliable.
With 8 to 10h of battery life, the MB series flow meters quickly and accurately measure pressure, temperature and volumetric flow in addition to mass flow. The portable meters can be used to easily verify proper operation of flow meters and flow controllers from any manufacturer, instantly take measurements in the field, and to quickly test for leaks in multiple processes or systems. Powered by a standard 9 volt battery, the lightweight units fit easily into a pocket or work bag.
In permanent installation applications, they may also be hardwired or wall powered, with the battery serving as a backup during power loss to maintain critical operations monitoring.
Alicat's laminar flow differential pressure technology delivers accurate results with a fast response time.
Devices come pre-calibrated (NIST traceable) for air, hydrogen, helium, and argon as well as 16 other gases and 10 gas mixes. The integrated digital display enables the unit to operate as a standalone device.
