Engineers will appreciate how the wide selection of high-performance, low-maintenance, long-life, natural gas submetering thermal flow meters from Fluid Components International (FCI) offers them basic to advanced feature sets and with comprehensive agency approvals, including, Div1/Zone1 and SIL ratings, to measure local gas usage.
The submetering of natural gas usage at plant or facility distribution points provides greater insight in the understanding of point-of-use fuel consumption and accountability, operational requirements, emissions, and operating costs. No matter whether the application is simple campus, facility or plant heating, or complex industrial processes including ovens, burners, or boilers, etc., there is an FCI thermal flow meter series suitable for the task.
The FCI Family of Thermal Flow Meters are economical and easy-to-install, versatile solutions to measure the flow rate and totalized flow of air and natural gas. They are direct mass flow measuring, wide range 100:1 turndown instruments, all with precision calibration in natural gas flowing at actual installation temperature and pressure conditions. Their inline or insertion designs provide a threaded or flanged connection into the piping from 0.25 inch [DN6] to the largest of line sizes, powering by AC or DC sources, and large choice of local digital readouts, analog, and digital bus outputs.
FS10i Series
The compact FS10i Flow Meters are ideal for insertion or inline natural gas line sub-metering tasks. Like all FCI thermal meters, they provide Div2/Zone2 compliant, direct mass flow measurement requiring no pressure, temperature, or other components. Independently evaluated SIL 2 certification as an HFT0 device makes them the choice for safety instrumented system (SIS) critical processes.
