Alicat ISMW - Intrinsically Safe Low Pressure Drop Mass Flow Meter

  • Ultra low pressure drop Zone 0 mass flow meter
  • Full scale flows from 0.5 SCCM up to 1000 SLPM
  • Atex II 1G Ex ia IIC T4 Ga / IECEx Ex ia IIC T4 Ga.

The New Alicat ISMW Whisper series

Alicat ISMW Whisper series of mass flow meters are Atex and IECEx Zone 0 certified.

Pressure and flow rates

ISMW Whisper series offers a minimum of 0.07 PSID / 4.8 millibar pressure drop on devices with a full scale flow rate of up to 5 SLPM. The low pressure drop does increase for larger full scale models with the 1000 SLPM model offering a maximum pressure drop of only 0.24 PSID / 16.5 millibar at full flow.

Accuracy varies dependant on full scale flow rates, typical accuracy is from ± 0.8% of reading and ± 0.2% of full scale with optional high accuracy up to ± 0.4% of reading and ± 0.2% of full scale dependant on model.

Port configurations

The ISMW series is available with various port configurations ranging from M5 x 0.8mm female up to 2” NPT female threaded connections on the 1000 SLPM model. Other thread variants are also available including BSPP, SAE, or Swagelok®-compatible (VCO® and VCR®).

Communications

ISMW series from Alicat has a standard 4 – 20 mA output as well as RS-232 serial communications with option RS-485 or Modbus RTU (over either RS-232 or RS-485).

Display and ingress protections

Devices come supplied with a local display and push button setup. Ingress protection is to IP66 with electrical connections being via the DB15 connection port.
