Apex Mass Flow Meter Manual

Frequently Asked Questions FAQ

Basic Specifications

 

Mass flow meters, regardless of manufacturer, serve a single purpose...to measure the flow of gasses through a system. Mass flow meters must be accurate, versatile, dependable and cost effective.

The Apex Vacuum mass flow meter was designed to meet and exceed the requirements that customers place on mass flow meters:

 
  • Simplicity
    The Apex  mass flow meters were designed to be used as a stand-alone device. With the native display a user can easily change the configuration of the meter without the need for computers, complicated software or scripts.
  • Accuracy
    The Apex series mass flow meters compensate for changes in process temperature and pressure.
  • Reduced Cost of Ownership
    Alicat M series and V series flow meters require very little power to run thereby reducing operating costs. M and V series flow instruments also have less pressure drop when compared to similar flow devices. Reduced pressure drop means more process fluids go into your process and not into you measurement devices. The M series mass flow meters also measure pressure, temperature and volumetric flow in addition to mass flow which means less additional instruments you will have to buy and install.
  • Versatility
    M series mass flow meters are available in any flow range from 0.5SCCM through 1500SLPM. They are equipped with multiple analog outputs. Adding a totalizer allows users to see how much media has flowed through the system making it a great way to monitor usage and indentify waste. The M series meter can also be equipped with an Alicat 9V battery pack to make a stand alone calibration and flow verification device.
  • Speed
    With a response time of under 10 milliseconds Alicat mass flow meters respond more than twice as fast as your eye can blink.
  • Small Size
    The M series mass flow meter has a footprint of 2.37"X1.050" through 4.00"X1.60" making it easy to integrate into systems or to use as as a stand-alone calibrator.
  • Repeatablity
    Alicat's patented technology allows its mass flow meters to have very few moving parts. All of the internal components are fixed in place resulting in very little physical change inside the mass flow meter. Little physical change in the flow cavity means higher rates of consistency and repeatablity.
  • Dependablity
    There are currently over 22,000 Alicat products in service around the world. Alicat mass flow meter are being used in processes like leak detection, flow monitoring and atmospheric testing.
