Model FT3 Thermal Gas Mass Flow Meter

Brand: Fox Thermal Instruments

The Model FT3 was designed with our oil and gas customers in mind.

This meter is Quad O (OOOO) compliant and is perfect for use in flare gas applications along with other fuel gas measurement.
Features
  • Measures process gas flow rate/total and temperature
  • A USB connection is standard (free FT3 View™ Software); Optional HART and RS485 Modbus communication protocols
  • Optional on-board display and configuration panel
  • Equipped with the Power Pro™ thermal mass flow sensor
  • One discrete output is programmable for either pulse (for totalizing flows) or alarms
  • One discrete input to reset total or select a different calibration on 2 gas curves
  • 4-20 mA output proportional to mass flow rate
  • Click the Approvals tab for Model FT3 Agency Approvals.
  • Calibration Validation with the CAL-V™ and Zero CAL-CHECK® features.
  • NIST-traceable calibration
