Ask Alicat: How can I accurately control my mixed gas flows? (COMPOSER™)

Alicat Scientific introduces Gas Select COMPOSER™, a better way to accurately measure and control mixed gas flows. COMPOSER™ is a revolutionary gas composition feature that allows our users to define up to 20 custom gas compositions with up to 5 constituent gases per mix.



Gas Select COMPOSER™ – Accurate Mixed Gas Flow Measurement

When your gas composition changes, will your flow readings still be accurate? Alicat Scientific presents COMPOSER™, the world’s first on-the-fly mixed gas composition builder, for mass flow meters and mass flow controllers.

Define gas compositions to 0.01% for each of up to 5 constituent gases.

Gas Select™ 5.0 Gas List for Alicat Mass Flow Meters and Controllers

All Alicat Scientific mass flow meters and mass flow controllers come standard with NIST Ref Prop 9 gas properties data for up to 130 preloaded gas calibrations. Users may switch between selected gases on the fly without any need for recalibration of the mass flow meter or controller. All Gas Select™ calibrations retain the instrument’s specified NIST-traceable calibration accuracy. (See individual specifications sheets for details.)
