High Accuracy Modular Primary Standard Gas Flow Calibrator for Cal Labs & Industry
Sierra’s CalTrak® 500 brings world-class accuracy to your flow lab. The CalTrak® 500 is a modular piston prover that offers portability and low maintenance for customers who have many flow instruments needing to be validated or calibrated frequently. It comes with a base unit and a choice of flow cells fitted with low massborosilicate glass pistons with a low friction coating that oscillates between two detectors to quickly and accurately measure gas flow rates.
The CalTrak® 500 is an accurate primary standard gas flow calibrator for all inert gases. The 500 is used for calibration and verification of:
- Mass flow meters
- Controllers
- Variable area flow meters
- Precision in-situ calibration of industrial flow meters and controllers
Featuring:
- Accuracy of up to ± 0.35% of reading gas mass flow rate
- Calibrate your flow instruments, save money and time
- Quick, easy to use, automatic data capture
- Portable and battery operated
- Results directly traceable to NIST
