Alicat MCQ and MCRQ units are for high pressure applications. The ow rate is dependent on the pressure in that lower
pressures will yield lower ow rates. The Q series should only be ordered after consulting Alicat. MCQ units are calibrated
for operation at high pressure. Optimal performance is achieved at higher operating pressures.
Minimum Operating Pressure – 30 psia Maximum Operating Pressure – 320 psia
