Portable Calibration Unit (PCU) from Alicat

The Portable Calibration Unit (PCU) available from Alicat was designed as a portable, self contained secondary calibration standard for ease of use and transport.

While verifying calibration on in service flow systems, companies waste significant amount of time and money for equipment downtime. In contrast, Alicat PCUs are made to operate in the field as secondary calibration standards without the necessity for any hard power sources. In addition, the PCU is built into an industrial briefcase and can be taken anyplace and anywhere in the world to validate the operation of flow equipment.
