Portable Calibration Unit

Alicat's Portable Calibration Unit (PCU) was designed as a self contained, portable secondary calibration standard for easy transport and use. Companies don't have to waste engineering time and money as well as lose revenue for equipment downtime while verifying calibration on in service flow equipment. Alicat PCUs are designed to operate in the field as secondary calibration standards without the need for hard power sources. The Alicat PCU is built into an industrial briefcase and can be taken anywhere in the world to verify the operation of flow equipment. Unlike current secondary standards, the PCU is fully self-contained and does not require any additional support equipment or line power. It is as simple as having a tech arrive on site, plug the unit into the system and take readings. The PCU also has on-board digital output to send flow data to a laptop or other computer system. The PCU is comprised of 3 individual Alicat M series flow meters powered by two standard 9V batteries. The unit will alert the user to replace the batteries when power falls below a minimum threshold via a bright led indicator. Like Alicat's standard line of flow devices the PCU also has no large mechanical parts to service or fail. The ranges of the flow meters are specified by the end user while ordering the PCU. Portability with all of Alicat's Standard Features Digital display for each meter Display of Mass Flow, Volumetric Flow, Pressure & Temperature on each meter RS-232 Digital output for easy datalogging and digital communication Powered by 2 standard 9V batteries. No need for special battery chargers or cables. 30 on board user selectable gas calibrations Continuous flow reading Low battery power indicator CE, NIST Traceablity

Portable Flow Meter

Laboratories, industrial plants, process facilities and field technicians have all gained substantial advantages from Alicat portable flow meters. Instead of spending your time finding (or hard wiring) a power source, you can utilize our portable meter with gas selection and multiple parameter measurement features to: Verify proper operation of equipment, including other manufacturer’s mass flow meters and mass flow controllers. Maintain proper equipment settings as components within the system wear down. Search for leaks in the system utilizing the pressure reading or the flow reading. Install equipment and perform initial tuning and adjustments in the field. Perform periodic system checks for quality control and verification. A common 9Vdc battery powers one of our portable M Series meters for 8 - 10 hours! This affordable device displays mass flow & volumetric flow along with process temperature and pressure for 30 field selectable gases. The unit can also be powered with an optional AC/DC plug-in adaptor. Add Alicat's Industrial Carrying Case for a rugged, field ready flow verification device or transfer standard. Many of our customization features are compatible with our Portable Meters, including: Alternate STPs to simplify comparisons to other flow devices High accuracy calibration of +/-0.4% of reading + 0.2% of full scale Gas mixture calibrations or special gases Integrated totalizer for tests that require long term averaging Portability and all of Alicat's Standard Features Display of Mass Flow, Volumetric Flow, Pressure & Temperature Local Dynamic Display RS-232 I/O & Analog I/O Field Tunable for Application Specific Response 30 User selectable on board gas calibrations All Alicat M series portable mass flow meters are NIST traceable.
