All-welded flowmeter handles air and many different gases
The Model ST100L Air/Gas In-Line Thermal Mass Flow Meters now features an all-welded, no-thread flow element connection, for improved reliability in high-pressure industrial operating environments. The flowmeter has a high pressure rating of up to 3,000 psig, and is designed to handle a wide range of gases, including natural gas, hydrogen, helium, methane, ethane, propane, ethylene, nitrogen, carbon dioxide and many specialty gases. The ST100L Flow Meter is inherently thread-less. The elimination of threaded connections removes a potential leak path compared to standard meter compression fittings, which are threaded and can provide a conduit for hazardous gas leakage, says the company. It has no moving parts, which virtually eliminates wear, breakage and maintenance. The flowmeter measures flow with 100:1 turndown in ranges from 0.006 to 1,850 ft3/min. — Fluid Components International LLC, San Marcos, Calif.
