Cal-MAT 4000 Series

Description
The Matheson Cal-MAT 4000 Series is a multi-component gas mixing system that automatically blends up to three individual gases in a balance gas. The gas mixes can be used to generate precise gas calibration standards, create gaseous atmospheres, or produce gas mixes for analytical research or production purposes. The Cal-MAT 4000 can produce gas concentrations from percent to ppb levels for single or multi-point calibrations.
The system consists of two components, the 4000 Series instrument and the user’s personal computer. The user interface is a Microsoft Windows application that communicates with the Cal-MAT 4000 via an RS-232 serial interface.

Features
  • Blends up to three gases in a balance gas at user set concentrations
  • Internally stored mass flow controller calibration tables improve accuracy
  • Modular design allows for additional gas circuits to be added, increasing system flexibility
  • User definable cylinder library allows for easy selection of frequently used gas cylinders. Each cylinder may contain an unlimited number of component gases, with automatic K-factor calculation

Software
The Windows-based software for the Cal-MAT 4000 offers three basic modes of operation:
  • Concentration Mode: Allows user to create a blend by entering target gas concentrations for each source gas cylinder and the desired total output flow for the mixture.
  • Flow Mode: Allows user to specify the flow rate of each gas cylinder.
  • Program Mode: Provides the ability to program the instrument for unattended operation. Programs can be recalled and run in any sequence, at various times/dates.
