Mass Flow Meters with Low Pressure DropNow, this works if you have enough pressure in your subatmospheric system to lose a whole psi through the flow meter. If we look at the available pressure at ¨ö atm, the pressure drop across the oversized M-1SLPM-D meter restricts 1 psid, or around 14% of your available pressure. It gets even tighter working at ¨ù atm, where the oversized M-2SLPM-D meter again induces 1 psid of pressure drop, which is now 27% of your available pressure. This is not optimal, especially when you are limited in your available pressure. Ah-ha! Alicat has a solution: Our ¡°Whisper¡± series of low pressure drop mass flow meters are perfect for this type of scenario, since their pressure drops are very low compared to our standard M-series meters. An oversized MW-1SLPM-D Whisper meter has a pressure drop of only 0.07 psid at ¨ö atm and 500 sccm, which is now just 1% of your available pressure. Both the standard mass flow meter and the Whisper meter will perform with the same accuracy under these conditions, but using a low pressure drop Whisper will give you a lot more breathing room in terms of pressure loss as you design your subatmospheric system.
