Thermal mass flowmeters regulate N2 tank blanketing
Fluid Components International
Nitrogen tank blanketing is widely used to protect stored contents, to prevent contamination, and to reduce the risk of toxic fume leaks, fires and explosions. This company’s ST Series Flow Meters (photo) are mass flowmeters that are available in a wide array of designs to accommodate various tanks and line sizes. Installed upstream of the tank’s regulator valve, these flowmeters ensure accurate measurement, monitoring and control of the blanketing gas to ensure safe, economical operation. These mass flowmeters are calibrated to specific gases (nitrogen or others) in the company’s NIST-approved calibration laboratory, and their thermal dispersion mass flow sensors and rugged packaging are suitable for a wide range of industrial process environments. — Fluid Components International, San Marcos, Calif.
