Product catalog summary
Series Overview
Alicat Scientific M-Series digital mass flow meters are designed to measure mass flow rate, volumetric flow rate, pressure, and temperature of process gases with high accuracy and rapid response. The core technology is a patented laminar differential pressure measurement that provides linear results across a wide flow range, compensating for pressure and temperature changes. These meters are NIST-traceable and come with a lifetime warranty.

Features
The M-Series meters feature large displays with touchpad-accessible gas selection from 30 user-selectable gas calibrations. They support both analog and RS-232 digital communications and offer extensive customization options, including ATEX/CSA ratings for hazardous environments. Variants include corrosion-resistant materials (MS Series), low pressure drop (MW Series), and battery operation (MB Series).

Applications
These meters are used in various industries, including scientific testing, manufacturing, and metrology. They offer multi-variable measurement, multiple gas calibrations, and a low turndown ratio, allowing one meter to replace several devices. They provide 0.4% accuracy, 0.2% repeatability, and <10 ms response times.

Technical Specifications
- Full-scale mass flow rates range from 0-0.5 sccm to 0-4000 slpm.
- Accuracy: ± (0.8% of Reading + 0.2% of Full Scale), with high accuracy options available.
- Repeatability: ± 0.2% Full Scale.
- Operating range: 0.5% to 100% Full Scale with a 200:1 turndown ratio.
- Response time: 10 ms (adjustable).
- Operating temperature: −10 to +50 ºC.
- Maximum pressure: 145 psig.
- Ingress protection: IP40.

Communications and Power
The meters feature monochrome or color TFT displays and support RS-232, RS-485, and PROFIBUS digital outputs, along with various analog output options. They require a supply voltage of 7 to 30 Vdc.

Materials and Compatibility
Wetted materials include stainless steel, Viton, silicone RTV, glass-reinforced nylon, and aluminum. The meters are compatible with a wide range of gases and can be calibrated for complex gas mixtures.

Additional Features
The M-Series includes 30 Gas Select™ with on-board user-selectable gas calibrations and compatibility with aggressive gases like ammonia and chlorine gas.

Digital Mass Flow Measurement alicat.com/m Series Overview Alicat Scientific M-Series digital mass flow meters accurately and rapidly measure the mass flow rate, volumetric flow rate, pressure and temperature of process gases. At the heart of Alicat’s M-Series mass flow meters is a patented, internally compensated, laminar differential pressure measurement technology that yields linear results over a very wide flow range. This produces volumetric and mass flow data that is fully compensated for changes in pressure and temperature and corrected for the user’s STP. All mass flow meters come with NIST-traceable calibration sheets. With no internal moving parts or heating elements, the M Series is electrically efficient and insensitive to bumps or changes in orientation. Alicat backs every mass flow instrument with generous customer support, including free technical phone support, prompt recalibration service and a lifetime warranty. Alicat M-Series mass flow meters feature large integrated displays with touchpad-accessible gas selection from 30 user-selectable gas calibrations and both analog and RS-232 digital communications. Extensive product customizations are available, including Class 1, Div 2 ATEX/CSA ratings for use in hazardous environments. The M Series is available with corrosion-resistant wetted materials (MS Series), low pressure drop (MW Series) and battery operation (MB Series). Applications Alicat Scientific M-Series digital mass flow meters are used in a variety of industries, from scientific and analytical testing to manufacturing and metrology. Multi-variable measurement, multiple gas calibrations and a low 200:1 turndown ratio allow a single M-Series meter to replace several application-specific devices. Available 0.4% accuracy, 0.2% full-scale repeatability and <10 ms metering response times ensure optimal performance of gas flow processes. The M Series is available in full-scale mass flow rates from 0-0.5 sccm to 0-4000 slpm.
