Electronic Pressure Controllers / Electronic Pressure Regulators

PC Series / PCR Series Single valve digital electronic pressure controllers

Alicat Scientific's line of PC Series & PCR Series Digital Single Valve Electronic Pressure Controllers offer customers a variety of cost saving features.
Alicat PC series pressure controllers are:

Precise

Electronic digital controller is more precise than standard valve type controller.

Versatile

A variety of output options including 0-5V, 0-10V and 4-20mA and RS-232
Modular design allows PC series pressure control instruments to be configured for use in vacuum control applications as well as pressure control applications.

Fast

Quick response speed to measure and control. Ideal for PVD based vacuum applications like sputtering.

Cheap to operate

Low power consumption and minimal maintenance.

Rugged

Standard 302SS flow body with aluminum case housing looks good and provides long service life.

Accurate and Repeatable

Accurate to +/-0.5% of FS and repeatable to +/-0.5% of full scale.
All Alicat PC series pressure controller calibrations are NIST traceable.

Pressure Controller Applications

Digital pressure controllers are used to:
• perform leak checks
• seat checking
• verify pressure or suction
• control base pressure
• monitor/control feed pressure to processes
• auto paint and drying
• pneumatic control and supply
• vacuum control in PVD and sputtering applications
• semiconductor manufacturing
