- 98+ Preloaded Gases and Gas Mixtures
- 10,000:1 turndown ratio
- 5-ms speed of response
- No warm-up time, ready to go in 1 second
- ±0.6% of reading accuracy on most devices
Laboratory grade flow verification, anywhere you need it
Alicat MB Series portable mass flow meters monitor your mass and volumetric flow as well as your process pressure and temperature. This is all done simultaneously and every MB series comes preloaded with 98 gases and gas mixtures, you can even add your own gas blends! Now equipped with up to 18 hours battery life and a 3.5 hour recharge time via USB charger.
The portable mass flow meter is repeatable and accurate with calibrations up to ±0.5% of reading accuracy.
Every device has a 10,000:1 turndown ratio with full scale flow rates starting from 0.5 SCCM and going up to 5000 SLPM.
Alicat MB Series comes with a backlit LCD as standard, along with RS-232 communications over a USB type B connection.
Every Alicat device is backed by the manufactures limited life time warranty and ships with a NIST traceable calibration certificate.
MB series portable mass flow meters have a maximum operating pressure of 175 PSIG.
Key specifications
The data in the table below are standard configurations for models 10 SCCM full scale through 20 SLPM full scale. Please refer to the Mid-flow data sheet for full details.
| Mass Flow Accuracy at Calibration Conditions1 | ±0.6% of reading or ±0.1% of full scale, whichever is greater |
| High Accuracy Option1 | ±0.5% of reading or ±0.1% of full scale, whichever is greater |
| Bidirectional Option1 | No additional uncertainties |
| Repeatability (2σ) | ±(0.1% of reading + 0.02% of full scale) |
| Flow Measurement Range | 0.01–100% of full scale |
| Temperature Sensitivity | Mass flow zero shift: ±0.01% of full scale per °C from tare temperature Mass flow span shift: ±0.01% of reading per °C from 25°C |
| Pressure Sensitivity | Mass flow zero shift: ±0.01% of full scale per atm from tare pressure Mass flow span shift: ±0.1% of reading per atmosphere from calibration conditions |
| Operating Temperature Range | −10–60°C |
| Temperature Accuracy | ±0.75°C |
| Operating Pressure Full Scale | 160 PSIA |
1 - Stated accuracy is after tare under equilibrium conditions, includes repeatability and linearity.
