AMS Water Metering has released a new air flow meter, the FCI ST50 Air and Compressed Air Flow meter.
The model ST50 is a compact, low cost solution for accurate, repeatable flow rate measurement of air, compressed air or nitrogen.
The FCI ST50 is an insertion-style flow meter and has no moving parts. It is available in probe lengths for installation into pipe diameters from 63mm to 610mm. It is easily connected into the pipe via a half-inch or three-quarter inch NPT compression fitting.
The ST50 uses constant power thermal dispersion drive technology with a slightly heated sensor, which uniquely provides a subtle drying effect on the sensors resulting in effective measurement in moist measurement applications.
The electronics are housed in rugged, IP67-rated enclosure with dual conduit ports in either NPT or M20 threading. The instrument comes standard with dual 4-20 mA outputs – one for flow rate and one for temperature.
A 500 Hz pulse output (for external totaliser) can be added as an option. The transmitter/electronics can be integrally mounted with the flow element (probe), or be remote mounted to best match your installation situation.
The ST50 flow sensing element features precision, platinum RTD in small diameter, ‘equal-mass’, all-metal thermowells to provide superior accuracy, repeatability and fast response.
