Remote Mountable Flow Meter for Hazardous Locations

 The future-ready ST100 Series Thermal Mass Air/Gas Flow Meter
from Fluid Components International (FCI) is now available in a remote mountable configuration, ideal for applications in hazardous areas or hard-to-reach locations.
Remote mount flow meters are ideal for equipment crowded plants or hazardous factory areas where combustible or toxic gases may be present near the transmitter’s electronics. The ST100’s remote mount transmitter, with optional digital display, can be mounted up to 1000 feet (300 meters) away from the flow sensor using interconnecting cable.
Setting a new industry benchmark for process and plant air/gas flow measurement instrumentation, the revolutionary ST100 Series Flow Meter offers the most feature-rich and function-rich electronics available today. FCI’s ST100 offers superior flow sensing performance to deliver unsurpassed adaptability and value, meeting plant gas flow measurement applications for today and tomorrow.
The ST100 Flow Meter continuously measures, displays and transmits the industry’s most extensive array of parameters. It is available with 4-20 mA analog, frequency/pulse, alarm relays or digital bus communications such as HART, Fieldbus, Profibus or Modbus. The ST100 Flow Meter adapts as necessary to plants’ changing needs or desire for upgrades with a plug-in card replacement that can be changed out by plant technicians in the field, taking “never obsolete” to a whole new level.
The ST100 Flow Meter is user-friendly and versatile, storing up to five unique calibrationgroups to accommodate broad flow ranges as well as differing mixtures of the same gas and multiple gases, obtaining up to 1000:1 turndown. The optional, patent-pending SpectraCal™ Gas Equivalency calibration method lets users select and switch between 10 common gases. The ST100’s standard on-board data logger features a removable 2-GB micro-SD memory card capable of storing 21 million readings.

ST100 Series Flow Meters can be calibrated to measure virtually any process gas including dirty, wet and mixed gases. The basic insertion style air/gas meter measures flow from 0.25 to 1000 SFPS (0.07 NMPS to 305 NMPS) with accuracy of 0.75 percent of reading, 0.5 percent of full scale.
ST100 Series Flow Meters are designed for rugged industrial process and plant environments, including service up to 850 F (454 C). The ST100 is agency approved for hazardous environments, including the entire instrument, the transmitter and the rugged, NEMA 4X/IP67 rated enclosure. Instrument approvals (submitted and pending) include: FM and FMc: Class 1, Division 1, hazardous locations, Groups B, C, D, E, F, G; ATEX and IECEx: Zone 1, II 2 GD Ex d IIC T4.
