Alicat Scientific MCW | Whisper Low Pressure Drop Mass Flow Controller | 0.5 SCCM-1,000 SLPM, max 60 PSIA
The Alicat Scientific Whisper MCW controls gas flow where source pressure is limited, creating pressure drop as low as 0.07 PSID across full scales of 0.5 SCCM to 1,000 SLPM. Operating pressure is 11.5 to 60 PSIA, accuracy ±0.6% of reading or ±0.1% of full scale, and control response 30 ms. It suits gravity-fed, low-head and near-atmospheric gas systems.
Key features
- Pressure drop as low as 0.07 PSID
- Control range 0.5-100% (200:1); measurement 10,000:1
- 98 preloaded gas calibrations
- Instant warm-up
- Optional -X build for Class I Div 2 and ATEX Zone 2
