Comments:

From the above technical evaluation Palltronic Flowstar XC (FFXC) covers the most kinds of integrity tests which meet our requirement. This model is also being used in SVPO and Cephalosporin plant and from our previous experience it is user friendly. Moreover, the calibration option of this model is convenient. So, we recommend Palltronic Flowstar XC (FFXC).
