Engineers in search of a highly accurate flow measurement solution for process gas, fuel gas, inert gas or waste gases as well as air in small line sizes will be pleased to learn that the advanced ST75 Flow Meter from Fluid Components International (FCI) is now ATEX and IECEx approved for safety in hazardous and potentially explosive plant environments.
The IEC prepares and publishes international standards for electrical, electronic and related technologies, while the ATEX directive specifies design criteria for flow meters and other electrically-powered instruments to help prevent explosions and fires when combustible gases are present. ATEX and IECEx approval for potentially explosive environments means that the ST75 Flow Meter is suitable for applications in hazardous plant areas in the European Community and elsewhere worldwide.
Designed for line sizes from 0.25 to 2.0 inches (6 to 51mm), the ST75 Flow Meter combines superior accuracy with a rich set of features. The ST75 provides three unique outputs: the mass flow rate, totalized flow and media temperature. It is ideal for applications in a wide range of industries including chemical, electric power, food/beverage, advanced materials, pharmaceuticals, semiconductor and more.
