Fox Thermal Instruments Launches New Product
Fox Thermal Instruments announced recently the launch of their new product: the state of the art Fox Model FT3 Thermal Mass Flow Meter & Temperature Transmitter. Fox Thermal Instruments has expanded its product line with the addition of the FT3 Thermal Mass Flow Meter. The FT3 is a high-end flow meter, and it features a robust design. Among its advanced features are:
- CAL-V - In Situ Calibration Validation Routine
- HART and RS485 Modbus - Optional Communication Protocols
- Infrared Buttons – Advanced Programming Buttons Maintain Integrity of Enclosure
- Standard USB Port – Gain Direct Meter-to-PC Connections
- FT3 View - Software for configuring, graphing and logging data
The FT3 was designed to be used in any pure or mixed gas application, but it is ideal for applications at refineries, petrochemical plants, and natural gas gathering/processing plants. In addition, with its rugged-design, the FT3 is ideal for heavy industrial applications in metals, paper, glass and ceramics.
Other FT3 features are dual 4 to 20mA outputs (one for flow and the second selectable for flow or temperature) and pulse output (pulses per unit/units per pulse).
The FT3’s CAL-V feature allows users to confirm that the meter is functioning properly and accurately - with just a simple push of a button. The Model FT3 performs a calibration validation test under actual operating conditions - in the pipe and at normal flow.
FT3 View allows easy adjustments to the meter configuration, evaluation of alarm conditions, collection of process data, and measurement viewing from your PC or control station. Moreover, this software can be used to initiate CAL-V - and it automatically logs the results of each CAL-V test. If any regulatory submission is required, the software will generate a certificate for easy recordkeeping.
A USB connection port comes standard on the new Model FT3 which allows quick and easy access with a laptop. Communications options available are HART and RS485 Modbus.
