Mass Flow Meter for air/compressed air, fuel and inert gases

The ST75 Series thermal flow meters are a compact, low cost solution for accurate, repeatable direct mass flow measurement of air and gases. These in-line (spool-piece) style flow meters have no moving parts and are available for use in pipe diameters from 1/4 inches to 2 inches, [6 mm to 51 mm]. Process connection options include male NPT, female NPT, and flanged. These thermal flow meters feature wide 100:1 turndown and depending on pipe size, will measure from 0.01 SCFM to 559 SCFM [0,01 NCMH to 950 NCMH].
 
 
The ST75 Series electronics are housed in rugged, IP67 rated enclosure with dual conduit ports in either NPT or M20 threading. The instrument comes standard with dual 4-20 mA outputs and a 500 Hz pulse output. The models ST75A and ST75AV include HART or Modbus, as well as NAMUR compliant 4-20 mA outputs and SIL compliance rating. The flow meter's transmitter/electronics can be integrally mounted with the flow element (probe) or be remote mounted to best match your installation situation. The complete instrument carries global Ex agency approvals for Division l/Zone 1 installations.
 
The ST75 flow meter sensing element features precision, platinum RTD in small diameter, "equal-mass," all-metal thermowells to provide superior accuracy, repeatability and fast response. The "V" suffix models (ST75V and ST75AV) include Vortab® flow conditioners built-in to the spool-piece to provide accurate and repeatable flow measurement installations with limited straight-run and/or for operating in transitional flow ranges.
