A remote-mountable flowmeter is for hard-to-reach locations
The ST75 Series Flowmeter (photo) offers a remote-mountable, space-saving configuration that solves piping layout issues in potentially hazardous areas or hard-to-reach locations crowded with equipment. The device offers direct mass-flow measurement, and is ideal for a wide range of industrial applications, including burner and boiler fuel and air feed lines, industrial furnaces, kilns and oven fuel/air controls, natural gas sub-metering, chiller air-flow measurements, dosing and gas injection rate controls, air compressor system control and point-of-use monitoring, and co-gen and turbine generator fuel-flow measurements. These in-line (spool-piece) style flowmeters have no moving parts and are available for use in pipe diameters from 0.25 to 2 inches. The ST75 flowmeter’s transmitter/electronics can be integrally mounted with the flow element (probe), or it can be remote mounted to best match the installation situation. The remote mount transmitter, which includes a full digital display, can be mounted up to 50 feet (15 meters) away from its thermal mass-flow sensor in the process piping and connected via two 0.50-in. FNPT or M conduit connections. — Fluid Components International, San Marcos, Calif.
