FCI Flow Measurement Products
Solving your gas flow measurment problems
All flowmeter technologies have recommended installation and engineering practices to ensure they meet their published specifications and for optimal performance, accuracy and repeatability. Flowmeter users are frequently challenged with wide variations in their actual field condition and installation constraints that are much different from the ideal conditions under which their flowmeter was calibrated.
In 'Best Practices Engineering Guide' we provide engineering recommendations and solutions to overcome real world application conditions to obtain expected flowmeter prerformance to specifications.

If high flowmeter accuracy is demanded, even with inadequate straight pipe, a flow conditioner should be used. There are many types of flow conditioners available (vanes, tube bundles, perforated plates); however the VORTAB flow conditioner offers several advantages. The VORTAB's unique tab design (see sketch above) provides excellent isolation from disturbances, little pressure loss, and immunity to fouling.

Use a flow conditioner.
Flowmeter manufacturers usually provide 'recommended installation' instructions with their products. These instructions specify the minimum amount of straight, unobstructed pipe that should be located upstream and downstream of the flowmeter. It's often not possible to provide this required straight pipe due to space constraints and economic demands. Consequently, flowmeter accuracy suffers as a direct result of an inadequate amount of straight pipe.
Flowmeter - easy to install, easy to use.
The ST50 Flowmeter is an accurate, easy to install, no moving parts solution for measuring and controlling air, compressed air or nitrogen flow.
ST50 utilizes FCI proven thermal dispersion technology to provide direct mass flow measurement resulting in higher performance at a lower cost than orifice plates, DP, Vortex shedding and other thermal device.
