New BASIS 2 mass flow meters & controllers
Alicat Scientific has released a new generation of BASIS 2 mass flow meters & controllers. Thermal MEMS technology results in a product with a small footprint that is affordable and offers excellent repeatability and impressive accuracy. BASIS mass flow devices are easy to automate and integrate, especially in systems with other Alicat products.
Specifications of the BASIS 2 meters and controllers
- Accuracy: As good as ±1.5% reading or ±0.2% full scale, gas dependent
- Repeatability (2σ): ±0.25% of reading or ±0.05% of full scale
- Maximum footprint (WxDxH): 3.31″ x 1.00″ x 1.83″
Compact, durable and accurate
The compact size of the new BASIS 2 makes it ideal for integration into portable and/or lightweight gas mixing systems. Thanks to their all-metal housing, they do not suffer from the fragility of comparable plastic systems. Users can operate the devices immediately using digital inputs and analogue voltage or current control, without having to disassemble or rewire the instrument. Although small in size, the Alicat BASIS 2 offers best-in-class accuracy, with nine calibrated gases for in-field gas selection and simple digital or analogue communication. The flow range of the BASIS 2 products currently runs from 100 SCCM to 20 SLPM. Alicat plans to extend this to 50 SLPM from mid-February.
