Alicat Scientific has manufactured custom mass flow and pressure instrumentation to equip customers with the tools they need to advance scientific discovery and technological development. Alicat devices are used in applications from aerospace and defense to research labs to environmental monitoring. To achieve this, the company focuses on being fast. It pioneered the use of laminar differential pressure flow technology, improving on traditional thermal and differential metering to create devices that can sample every millisecond, with response times of 50 ms. That way, users get real-time data with minimal fluctuations. If building a new, automated system and needing highly configured (or completely customized) mass flow or pressure controllers, customers won’t be left waiting for six months. If looking for a simple meter to run some tests, Alicat likely has one that can be shipped right away. Not every team has a flow expert on it, which is why the company makes it easy for customers to get in touch with an applications engineer. They’re the ones who answer calls by the third ring and respond to emails within three hours. Users are able to get the information they need, fast.
