Product catalog summary
Series Overview
Alicat Scientific's P-PSID Series digital differential pressure gauges and controllers are designed for precise and rapid measurement and control of pressure differentials in various systems. The series includes:
  • P-PSID Series: Measures pressure differential using separate dead-ended pressure sense ports.
  • PC-PSID Series: Maintains differential pressure in open systems with high-speed proportional control valves.
  • PCD-PSID Series: Controls differential pressure in closed systems with dedicated inlet and exhaust valves, eliminating the need for additional bleed valves.
  • Remote Sense Ports: Available for maintaining pressure in distant volumes (PC3-PSID, PCD3-PSID).
All instruments are available with corrosion-resistant materials and stainless steel flow bodies, and come with NIST-traceable calibration sheets. They feature large displays, analog and RS-232 digital communications, and customizable options including ATEX/CSA ratings for hazardous environments and battery operation for portable gauges.
Applications
The PSID Family is used in industries such as gas analysis and filter characterization. It offers a 200:1 turndown ratio, 0.125% accuracy, 0.2% full-scale repeatability, and <100 ms control response times. Available pressure ranges are from 0-1 psid to 0-100 psid.
Technical Data for PC, PC3, PCR, and PCR3 Controllers
  • Performance: PC & PC3 controllers offer precise control of absolute, gauge, or differential pressure, with options for vacuum or backpressure control. PCR controllers are suitable for flows >20 lpm. PC3 and PCR3 include external pressure ports for remote sensing.
  • Specifications: Standard accuracy is ±0.25% for pressures ≥ 2” H2O, with a high accuracy option of ±0.125%. Repeatability is ±0.08% full scale, with a zero and span shift of 0.02% per °C. Operating range is 0.5% to 100% full scale with a 200:1 turndown ratio. Response time is typically 100 ms, adjustable based on system conditions.
  • Operating Conditions: Compatible with non-corrosive gases, operating temperature from -10 to +50 °C, and a common mode pressure of 150 psig for differential units. The valve type is normally closed, with IP40 ingress protection.
  • Materials: Wetted materials include various stainless steels, Viton®, and silicone. Brass is added for PC & PC3 only.
  • Communication/Power: Options include RS-232/RS-485/PROFIBUS digital outputs and various analog outputs. Supply voltage ranges from 12-30 Vdc, with specific requirements for 4-20 mA outputs.
  • Mechanical Specifications: Dimensions and process connections vary between models, with compatibility for various fitting types.
  • Available Ranges: Pressure ranges include options from -15 psig to 500 psig, with specific ranges available upon request.

PC3-PSID-Series-1

PSID Family Digital Differential Pressure Measurement and Control alicat.com/dp Series Overview Alicat Scientific P-PSID Series digital differential pressure gauges accurately and rapidly measure the pressure differential between two points in a process using separate dead-ended pressure sense ports. PC-PSID Series pressure controllers provide precise maintenance of the differential pressure in open systems via customized high-speed proportional control valves. PCD-PSID Series dual-valve differential pressure controllers control differential pressure within closed systems via dedicated inlet and exhaust valves, eliminating the need for additional bleed valves and wasteful outgasing. These series are also available with remote sense ports for maintenance of pressure in volumes that are distant from the controller (PC3-PSID, PCD3-PSID). Each instrument within the PSID Family is also available with corrosion-resistant wetted materials and stainless steel flow bodies in the PS/PCS/PCS3/PCDS series. All pressure instruments come with NISTtraceable calibration sheets. Alicat backs every PSID-Family pressure instrument with generous customer support, including free technical phone support, prompt recalibration service and a lifetime warranty. Alicat PSID-Family pressure gauges and controllers feature large integrated displays and both analog and RS-232 digital communications. Controller touchpads enable setpoint control access and PID valve tuning. Extensive customizations are available, including Class 1, Div 2 ATEX/CSA ratings for use in hazardous environments and battery operation for portable differential pressure gauges (PB-PSID Series). Applications Alicat Scientific PSID-Family digital differential pressure gauges and controllers are used in a variety of industries, including gas analysis and filter characterization. A low 200:1 turndown ratio, available 0.125% accuracy, 0.2% full-scale repeatability and <100 ms control response times ensure optimal performance of pressure measurement and control processes. The PSID Family is available in full-scale differential pressure ranges from 0-1 psid to 0-100 psid.

Technical Data for PC, PC3, PCR, and PCR3 Single Valve Pressure Controllers Alicat PC-Series pressure controllers allow the precise control of absolute, gauge or differential pressure. These units can be configured for vacuum pressure or backpressure control. PCR-Series pressure controllers are best for flows greater than 20 lpm. PC3 and PCR3-Series pressure controllers are fitted with an external pressure port for sensing and controlling pressures at a remote point in the system. Standard Specifications (Contact Alicat for available options.) Performance Full scale pressure < 2” H2O Accuracy...
