Alicat MQ Series - High Pressure Gas Mass Flow Meter

Alicat MQ - High Pressure Gas Mass Flow Meter

Alicat MQ - High Pressure Gas Mass Flow Meter - 50SCCM

We aim to respond within 1 hour

High pressure (160-320 psia) mass flow meter
Measure 4 variables simultaneously
Preloaded with 98+ compatible gases and gas mixes
±0.6% of reading accuracy on most devices
200:1 turndown ratio

High-pressure, multivariate flow measurement in real time

The Alicat MQ series of mass flow meter builds on the features of the standard instrument and can be used within higher pressure gas applications, ideal for when line pressures are between 160 and 320 psia (11 - 22 bara).

Flow rates are available ranging from 10 SCCM and going up to 3000 SLPM, combined with a 200:1 turndown ratio.

The mass flow meter is easy to use and is ready from the moment it is powered up (no warm up time) and the local display shows the live flow (mass and volumetric) as well as line pressure and temperature. The push button keypad allows for easy configuration changes such as engineering units.

As standard MQ series mass flow meters ship with an analogue output and RS-232 data communications, optional comms include Ethernet/IP, EtherCAT, DeviceNet, Profibus or Modbus (RTU and TCP/IP).
