Fluid Components International (FCI) has launched its ST75V Hydrogen flowmeter with agency approvals for hazardous areas such as oil/gas refineries, ammonia production, food plants, mining, and fuel cell skids. With its precision thermal mass flow sensor, and no-moving part construction the flowmeter provides repeatable gas flow measurement in hazardous small line gas process applications where agency safety approvals are required. The FCI flowmeter combines no-moving parts thermal mass flow sensing technology with built-in precision Vortab flow conditioning to deliver +/-1% of reading accuracy (+/-0.5% full scale) in line sizes from 0.25 to 2.0in. The ST75V also features a repeatability of +/-0.5% that will ensure consistent hydrogen gas measurement to meet rigorous process quality standards. It uses built-in Vortab flow conditioning technology, that reduces straight pipe run requirements by up to 70%, eliminating swirl and other pipeline flow distortions to ensure precise gas flow measurement in challenging conditions. The flowmeter has system safety approvals from FM/CSA Class 1, Div 1, Groups B, C and D; as well as Class 1, Div 2, Groups A, B, C and D, T4. It also meets the requirements for ATEX II 3G EEx nA II T6; II 3D T65 C (dc powered version). The ST75V Hydrogen flowmeter is also suitable for a wide range of small line process applications.
