Precision Gas and Liquid Flow Control: Essential to Finding the Optimal Fuel Blend in Fuel Cell Test Stands

Fuel cell technology, relies on the precise control of gas and liquid flows to optimize fuel blends for maximum efficiency and minimum emissions. Critical to this process is the use of advanced instrumentation, like the Brooks Instrument SLA5800 mass flow controller, which provides flexibility and precision in testing various fuel cell components—catalysts, membranes, metals, and electrolytes—under controlled conditions. Essential for repeatable and valid results, these controllers ensure consistent delivery of electrical output by regulating the gas flow rates, temperature, and pressure during the fuel cell test stand operations. With features like a wide control range and superior sensor stability, alongside digital communication capabilities for real-time feedback, the SLA5800 is pivotal in refining the fuel cell technology that could revolutionize clean energy generation.

Did you know… Cross Company is an ESOP (Employee Stock Ownership Plan). Our ESOP started in 1979 and as of 2006, we are 100% employee-owned! Learn more about our ESOP and how that benefits both team members and our customers.
Did you know... the precision measurement group at Cross was founded in 1939 by our current CEO's grandfather, Jim King. That's a whole lot of calibration!
Did you know... A fingerprint weighs about 50 micrograms. We know, we weighed it! The residue left from a finger can actually make a difference in weight results which is why we wear gloves when we calibrate weights. For reference, a sheet of paper is about 4.5 grams, that’s 4.5 million micrograms.
Did you know… Cross Company has grown significantly since our start in 1954. Over the years we've acquired 26 companies! Today, our five groups have expertise in everything from industrial automation to precision measurement, and industry knowledge going all the way back to 1939.
