Bios DryCal DC-Lite Air Flow Calibrator, Bios Dry Cal DC Lite

BIOS International produces the DryCal DC-Lite, a revolutionary dry primary flow meter design that offers low cost, light weight and ultra-compact size. The innovative new DryCal is immune to flow source pulsation without the need for in-line dampers.

It provides users with a primary flow standard for industrial hygiene, environmental and laboratory applications. The DryCal DC-Lite fits easily into a slim briefcase for convenient transport and in keeping with all BIOS DryCal flow meters; it eliminates the need for messy soap film solutions.

The DryCal DC-Lite uses patented DryCal near-frictionless piston technology and photo optic sensors to obtain volumetric flow readings quickly and accurately. Housed in a small 5" x 5" x 2.75" case, each unit is power-packed with a variety of popular user conveniences such as AC/DC operation, a large alphanumeric LCD, push-button read and auto-read functions, automatic shut-off and a parallel printer port that interfaces with most standard IBM compatible printers.

Kit Includes: DryCal DC-Lite unit, one flow cell range, single-station charger, tubing and manual.

Highlights

Primary Flow Standard
Certified NIST Traceable
5-Minute Auto Shut-Off
Simple Push-Button Operation
Immune to Flow Source Pulsation
Fast & Accurate

Features

Simple Operation
The Bios DryCal DC-Lite provides the user with accurate volumetric flow readings with the push of a button. No training required.

Continuous Auto-Mode
DryCal DC-Lite flow readings can be taken continuously, in the auto mode, providing hands-free operation. This feature enables the user to quickly adjust the flow source to a precise flow rate saving time and money.

Immune to Flow Source Pulsation
DryCal DC-Lite needs NO in-line dampers.

Flow Cell Volume Certified NIST Traceable
The DryCal DC-Lite flow cell is made of dimensionally stable Borosilicate glass and is manufactured and characterized to ±0.00005 inch tolerance. At BIOS each cylinder is re-measured with NIST traceable standards and certifying documentation is provided for each unit.

Crystal Timing Mechanism is Tested With NIST Traceable Frequency Counter
That is periodically re-certified by a NIST traceable laboratory.

Patented Graphite Composite Piston Assembly
DryCal DC-Lite's patented graphite composite piston assembly eliminates the inherent inaccuracies and mess associated with bubble soap.

Sealed Lead Acid Battery
Eliminates NiCad battery problems; memory effect and battery burnout from overcharging. Allows AC/DC operation. The DryCal DC-Lite can be used while charging.

Alphanumeric Display (LCD)
Indicates flow rate, flow average and number of readings included in average.
(10 readings per averaging sequence)

5-Minute Auto Shut-Off
Preserve battery life and ensure deployment resources with Bios DryCal DC-Lite's 5-minute auto shut-off function.

Built-In Flow Cell Integrity Test
Quality assurance self-test allows user to periodically verify proper flow cell integrity.

DryCal Has Been Tested By NIST
And the Japanese National Laboratory of Metrology and was found to be within ±0.2% of their transfer standards.

Built-in Parallel Printer Port
Interfaces with IBM compatible printers.
