| New mass flow meters from FCI  Fluid Components International, FCI, introduces ST50 and ST75 Flow Meters. Utilizing a wireless IR technology built-in to the ST50 and ST75 flow meters and a standard, low cost PDA, field technicians can obtain measurements, make setting changes and read trouble-shooting codes without ever having to open the instrument. This feature is ideal in applications for flow meters that are installed in hard-to-reach locations or where opening the instrument is inconvenient or labor intensive. The wireless IR link eliminates the need for expensive proprietary programmers, which simplifies maintenance and reduces the overall cost of use.FCI's wireless IR sensing capability is included in all ST50 and ST75 air/gas flow meters with a digital display readout. To complete the system, FCI also supplies the easy-to-use, user interface software for downloading into any Palm-OS based PDA. ST50 Flow Meter Small, compact and low cost, the ST50 is an insertion-style mass flow meter for air, compressed air or nitrogen flow measurements. Designed for line sizes from 2 to 24 inches, it installs easily through a single tap point and configuration set-up takes only minutes. The ST50 operates over a flow range of 1.25 to 400 SFPS in air, with an accuracy of ±2% of reading, ±0.5% of full scale. With its highly reliable thermal dispersion mass flow sensing element, the ST50 is ideal for a wide range of applications, including compressed air monitoring, HVAC duct/damper control, air flow control for dryers, burners, boilers and furnaces, wastewater aeration treatment, nitrogen blanketing, aquaculture aeration, and more. All ST Series Flow Meters feature an advanced thermal dispersion type mass flow sensing element, which uses two matched, precision platinum resistance temperature detectors, RTDs. One RTD is heated relative to the reference RTD, and the temperature difference between the two is linearized and conditioned to directly measure the gas mass flow rate. The sensing elements have no moving parts and are non-clogging to achieve excellent long-term reliability with virtually no maintenance. ST75 Flow Meter The advanced ST75 Flow Meter is a highly accurate, direct mass flow meter for air or gas measurement applications in smaller line sizes from 0.25 to 2 inches. The ST75's flow range spans 0.01 to 838 SCFM in air, with an accuracy of ±2% of reading, ±0.5% of full scale. It is suitable for service in a wide range of industrial processes, including burner and boiler fuel and air feed lines, industrial furnaces, heat treating gas controls, chiller air flow and dosing/gas injection rate controls. write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Construction News :: home page |
