Alicat Scientific Whisper MW-Series Low Pressure Drop Gas Flow Meter

Alicat Scientific Whisper MW-Series Low Pressure Drop Gas Flow Meter

 Alicat Scientific Whisper MW-Series Low Pressure Drop Gas Flow Meter measure mass flow and volumetric flow rates when there is little available system pressure, with pressure drops as low as 0.07 PSID.

Alicat Scientific Whisper MW-Series General Information

Alicat offers a wide range of mass flow meters, including both differential-pressure based and Coriolis technologies. There are many custom build options for our differential-pressure mass flow meters, including anti-corrosive, high-pressure, and low pressure drop options – with portable versions also available for each. Devices specifically tailored for bio and OEM applications are also available.

• Minimal system impact. Measure gas mass and volumetric flows with pressure drops as low as 0.07 PSID.
• Versatile & accurate. Real-time measurements with NIST-traceable accuracy to ±0.6% of reading or ±0.1% of full scale for 98+ gases, including custom-defined mixtures.
• Fast, multivariate data. Millisecond-response times immediately upon powering up, to display flow, pressure, and temperature readings in real-time, in your choice of engineering units.
• Easy integration. Custom process ports and electrical connectors, and your choice of EtherNet/IP, EtherCAT, DeviceNet, Profibus, Modbus (RTU and TCP/IP), or serial communications for easy integration into your industrial process.
