INNOVATIVE FLOW & PRESSURE SOLUTIONS PRODUCT & TECHNICAL GUIDE | ALICAT TECHNOLOGY Alicat Laminar Mass Flow devices address many of the drawbacks to classic orifice plate type volumetric flow measurement as a basis for mass flow calculations. They also address limitations of thermal flow technology in regards to hot-wire drift, micro‑flow calculations and response time. Alicat mass flow meters and mass flow controllers operate on the same principles as many larger, laminar transfer standards, but in a small, easily integrated package. Theory of Operation: Volumetric Flow Base The operating principle...

INNOVATIVE FLOW & PRESSURE SOLUTIONS PRODUCT & TECHNICAL GUIDE | Totalizer Flow meters and controllers can be ordered with the Totalizing option. This option adds an additional mode screen that displays the total flow (normally in the units of the main flow screen) that has passed through the meter or controller since the last time the Totalizer was cleared. The counter range is six digits (leading zeroes suppressed). At the time of order, you specify the resolution of the count. For instance, if a resolution of 1/100ths of a liter is specified for a meter, which is totalizing in liters, the...
