Research and development (R&D) environments demand precision, flexibility, and reliability to support innovation across sectors such as energy, pharmaceuticals, automotive, and advanced manufacturing. Technical institutes and laboratories in the UK and Ireland require accurate flow, pressure, and dosing technologies to ensure repeatable results and compliance with international standards.
At PCT, we provide advanced solutions for gas and liquid control, dynamic mixing, and pressure regulation—helping researchers accelerate development and maintain data integrity.
Accurate gas flow control is essential for experiments and calibration in R&D labs. Researchers often work with multiple gases and require instruments that deliver fast response and high precision. Advanced mass flow controllers simplify setup and ensure repeatable results.
Gas mixing is critical for creating controlled environments in simulation chambers and combustion research. Automated gas mixers reduce cylinder handling and improve accuracy.
Chemical compatibility studies and microfluidic research require ultra-precise dosing of aggressive fluids. Ceramic piston pumps and intelligent peristaltic pumps ensure accuracy and repeatability.
Prototype testing often involves measuring fuel and energy flows under controlled conditions. Coriolis meters provide direct mass flow and density readings for liquids and gases.
Stable pressure ensures reliable filtration and membrane performance. Back pressure regulators provide ultra-sensitive control for dynamic test conditions.
Thermal tests require precise modulation of pressure and flow. LowFlow control valves deliver stable control for small-scale systems.
Battery and fuel cell testing requires accurate gas and liquid flow control. Alicat MFCs and CODA Coriolis meters support hydrogen, air, and electrolyte management.
Endurance testing validates pump reliability under continuous operation. Longer peristaltic pumps and Fluid Metering ceramic piston pumps deliver repeatable dosing for lifecycle studies.
Simulation chambers replicate real-world conditions for product validation. Alicat MFCs and Fusion Flow Gas Mixers enable precise gas composition and humidity control.
Flow verification ensures instruments deliver accurate data for research. Alicat MFCs simplify calibration and reduce downtime.
