The Alicat LFE mass flow meters
Alicat's LFE (Laminar Flow Element) mass flow meters are high performance, differential pressure based instruments that can measure flow rates from 0.00005 SCCM to 5000 SLPM for 98+ gases, selectable via the built-in screen. These compact, multi-dimensional meters simultaneously measure mass flow, volumetric flow, pressure and temperature in real time to ensure accurate, stable readings.
Laminar differential pressure based LFE mass flow controllers for highest performance include:
