Product knowledge workshop offers free training on thermal flow meters and flow switches

Fluid Components International (FCI) announces that registration is open for its next free customer training product knowledge workshop, which will take place on October 15-16 in San Marcos, California.  This workshop is designed to provide customers comprehensive training on FCI thermal dispersion mass flow meters, flow switches, and level switches.

The classes will include the first live training for the recently announced ST80 Series Thermal Flow Meter with breakthrough Adaptive Sensor Technology™ (AST™) featuring an innovative hybrid sensor drive.  This patent-pending measuring technique combines, for the first time, both of the industry’s highly proven constant power (CP) and constant temperature (CT) thermal dispersion sensing technologies in the same instrument.

When operating in AST mode, the new ST80 Flow Meters measure in CT during start-up and through the lower flow ranges, and will then seamlessly shift into CP mode at mid-range and higher flow rates. The result is a best of both technologies performance level where the advanced ST80 meters deliver extremely fast response with extended measuring ranges at low power consumption to maximize sensor reliability and reduce instrument energy expenses.

Complementing this new measurement drive technique are a choice of four different flow sensor element designs to further ensure best installed performance, including FCI’s new wet gas solution. These meters also incorporate FCI’s rugged no-moving parts flow element design, which provides direct mass flow measurement with just a single process penetration and requires virtually no maintenance.

Interest lists are now also being formed for future classes in Europe, Asia and the Middle East. The classes, accommodations, refreshments and lunch are at no charge at FCI’s corporate office in San Marcos, California. Attendees provide their own transportation to FCI’s training facilities.
