DryCal® 800
High-Precision Primary Flow Standard for Laboratory & Industrial Applications
The DryCal® 800 is a high-precision primary piston prover designed for metrology, laboratory calibration, industrial process control and R&D applications. Combining Proven DryCal® Technology with five interchangeable flow cells, it provides direct gas flow measurement across an exceptionally broad range from 0.5 sccm to 100 slpm.
The DryCal 800 provides both volumetric and standardized flow measurements and can operate in pressure or suction applications. Its interchangeable cell design allows one electronic base to cover multiple flow ranges while maintaining measurement uncertainty as low as ±0.15% of reading.
For use with non-corrosive, non-condensing, non-combustible gases at less than 70% humidity.
