Precise Volumetric Gas Measurement for Ultra-Low Flow Applications
When gas volumes become extremely small, measurement quality becomes critical.
The RITTER MilliGascounter (MGC) was developed for accurate volumetric measurement of ultra-low gas flows from 1 ml/h up to 1 l/h. Designed for laboratory and research environments, the MGC combines precise physical measurement principles with long-term stability and exceptionally reliable reproducibility.
Unlike thermal or mass-flow based systems, the MGC measures actual gas volume directly – independent of gas composition, humidity or changing methane concentrations. This makes the system especially valuable for demanding research applications where gas mixtures vary over time and consistent long-term measurements are essential.
Widely used in biogas research, fermentation analysis, electrochemical studies and leak detection applications, the MGC has become a trusted instrument for laboratories and research facilities worldwide.
Why Researchers Choose the RITTER MGC
True Volumetric Measurement
The MGC directly measures displaced gas volume physically rather than estimating flow behavior through thermal models or gas-specific calibration assumptions.
This allows highly stable measurements even under changing gas compositions and fluctuating environmental conditions.
Exceptional Low-Flow Sensitivity
The system is optimized for extremely small gas volumes and continuous micro-flow measurements where conventional gas meters often reach their practical limits.
Individually Calibrated Instruments
Each MilliGascounter is individually calibrated to ensure reliable and reproducible results across long-term experiments and research processes.
Reliable Long-Term Stability
The robust twin-chamber measuring principle allows continuous operation with minimal drift and very low maintenance requirements.
Flexible Material Options
Depending on gas composition and chemical resistance requirements, the MGC is available in PMMA and PVDF versions for inert, slightly corrosive or aggressive gases.

Measuring Principle
The MilliGascounter uses a highly precise twin-chamber volumetric measuring principle. Gas entering the system alternately fills and tilts the measuring chambers. Each completed chamber movement corresponds to a defined gas volume and generates a digital counting pulse. This direct physical approach enables highly reproducible gas volume measurement independent of gas composition or thermal properties.
