It’s all about the accuracy.

The Bios Met Lab® Series of high-precision primary piston provers offers exceptional low uncertainties to meet the most stringent laboratory and industrial process control requirements.

By combining Proven DryCal® Technology with only three interchangeable flow cells, the Met Lab Series achieves precise, primary measurements over an incredibly broad flow range, from 5 to 50,000 scc per minute.

Our convenient Met Lab line offers two products to enable you to meet your highest accuracy demands:

  • the ML-500, featuring a sensible – yet very accurate – ±0.40% of reading (standardized) and ±0.25% of reading (volumetric)
  • the powerful ML-800, delivering an amazing ±0.15% of reading (standardized)

Both products in the Met Lab Series come standard with Bios Optimizer 110 standalone software, with the option to upgrade to the feature-packed Optimizer 130.

Their precision and demonstrated on-site durability have made the Met Lab Series the ultimate primary standards for demanding process control and calibration professionals around the world.
