ST50 Series Insertion Flow Meters
Mass Flow Meter Summary
The ST50 Series Flow Meters are an accurate, easy
to install, no moving parts mass flow meter solution. Model ST50 is used for compressed air and nitrogen flow. Model ST51 is used for measuring biogas, digester gas, methane and natural gas. The ST50 Series 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 devices. The
meter installs in line sizes ranging from 2 to 24 inches [51 to
610mm] with 1/2" or 3/4" NPT.
The ST50 Series uses precision, lithography structured platinum RTD sensors
embedded in FCI's equal mass small diameter, all metal thermowells.
Combined with microprocessor electronics and precision calibration,
the ST50 achieves excellent accuracy, fast response and virtually
maintenance free operation.
