MBQ Series High Pressure Portable Gas Mass Flow Meters

Stopping an operational process for validation or calibration is a necessary evil.  Alicat’s portable flow calibrators make this procedure more palatable by reducing the downtime and disruption to your process.  Instant-on and real-time readings for multiple gases across wide flow ranges let you get in and out quickly.  Portable flow meters make system checks, calibrations and audits fast and easy.  All portable flow instruments offer laboratory-grade accuracy and multivariate readings that update 1000 times a second. 

The versatile MBQ portable flow meter reduces the time it takes to verify or validate flows that are operating at high pressures (160 - 320 PSIA). Instant-on and real-time readings for multiple gases reduce the downtime and disruption to your process.  Instruments in the MBQ series are also available with an optional “S” configuration for use with aggressive or corrosive gases (MBQS).  In this configuration, the flow body and sensor are upgraded to 316L stainless steel and the elastomers are FFKM to withstand corrosion.

Alicat flow meters can be custom built with your choice of options.  Choose your communications protocol, display, process connections, elastomers, flow totalizer, and calibration.  Need further customization?  Contact us and we'd be happy to help you build the instrument you need.

Each flow meter comes with a NIST-traceable calibration certificate, an Alicat operating manual, a micro-USB charging cable and AC wall adapter.

Other Alicat Portable Mass Flow Meters
The MB series is suitable for most flow measurement applications, with models that can measure flow rates as high as 5000 slpm or as low as 0.0025 sccm, and is available for aggressive or corrosive gases (MBS).  The MBW, or “Whisper”, is best for low pressure drop applications and for reducing pneumatic response time at flow rates of 50 sccm or less to minimize system impact.
