Alicat Scientific MCD | Bidirectional Mass Flow Controller | 0.5 SCCM-3,000 SLPM, bidirectional
The Alicat Scientific MCD measures and controls gas flow in both directions, with full-scale ranges from 0.5 SCCM to 3,000 SLPM at 11.5 to 160 PSIA. Its accuracy is ±0.5% of reading or ±0.1% of full scale, whichever is greater. Bidirectional control makes it useful for closed-volume pressure work, leak testing and processes where flow reverses.
Key features
- Controls flow in forward and reverse directions
- Laminar DP sensing with temperature and pressure correction
- Range codes listed from MCD-0.5SCCM to MCRD-3000SLPM
- Preloaded gas calibrations
- Serial, analog and fieldbus output options
- Process connections: 10-32, NPT, SAE, BSPP, VCRM, VCO, compression
