Communication Module for Flow & Pressure Devices

Alicat Scientific Inc., offers its BB9 Communication Module in a USB model. The BB9-USB replaces the standard RS-232 serial connection, providing a direct computer connection for monitoring and control of Alicat Flow devices. The BB9 joins up to nine Alicat flow and pressure devices to a single computer for independent monitoring and operation. This remote monitoring saves time and money, especially in flow instrument installations where devices are a long distance from the control site. The BB9 will also distribute power to connected Alicat devices. In installations with more than nine Alicat flow devices, multiple BB9s can control up to 26 Alicat devices. With the industry’s highest turndown ratio, Alicat’s mass flow meters quickly and accurately measure pressure, as well as temperature, volumetric, and mass flow. Devices come pre-calibrated (NIST traceable) for air, hydrogen, helium, and argon as well as 16 other gases and 10 gas mixes. Alicat Scientific designs and manufactures mass flow devices used in medical and scientific instrumentation, as well as specialty industrial applications, for high-precision measurement of gas and liquid flows. Its products include mass and liquid flow meters and controllers; pressure controllers; digital pressure and vacuum gauges; portable flow meters; calibration standards; and software and accessories. The company also offers isolation mini-valves, weatherproof vibration switches, aviation fire extinguishers for cabin compartments, portable water quality monitoring system, touchscreen interlock management system, etc.
