GF03 Flare Gas Flow Meter
Mass Flow Meter SummaryThe GF03 Flare and Variable gas flow meter utilizes FCI's
exclusive patented thermal resistance analyzer correction design
that combines flow and gas composition sensors in a proprietary gas
calibration technique. This innovative engineering breakthrough in
thermal dispersion technology provides superior accuracy and
repeatability in changing gas compositions.
The GF03 single insertion flow element design offers simplified
installation and more reliability at a lower cost total cost than
any other mixed gas application solution. FCI's unique design
eliminates the need for additional temperature and pressure devices
that increase the initial purchase price and maintenance costs
typical of ultrasonic technology.
