Be a Flow Detective Accurate Natural Gas Submetering with Thermal Mass Flow Meters

* Application Information * *
Fuel costs rise and fall. When natural gas prices are low, facilities may not see efficiency gains as an important issue. However, when gas prices are high, efficiency becomes an essential target to keep costs down. There could be leaks or there could be aging equipment that needs to be tuned. This is where sub-metering natural gas comes into play. Natural gas sub-metering is an effective method for finding these issues and identifying which buildings, processes, and equipment may be driving up costs. Using natural gas sub-meters to monitor the flow of gas to different buildings and processes helps maintenance and facility managers identify leaks or equipment in need of repair, tuning, or improvement.

* Flow Measurement Product Information * *
Fox Thermal customers trust FT1, FT4A, and FT4X natural gas flow meters for sub-metering. Each of these models is available in insertion and inline styles and DC input power. Additionally, the FT4X offers a remote electronics enclosure style and an AC input power option.

* Advanced Diagnostics * *
For advanced diagnostics, these three models offer the CAL-V™ calibration validation test feature to verify the meter still retains its original NIST-traceable calibration. When used with the free FT View™ software, a calibration validation certificate can be produced recording the results of the test.

* Gas Composition Changes * *
Additionally, these three models have a Gas-SelectX® tool for applications where a gas composition is expected to change over time. Gas-SelectX® has gas menus that allow the user to choose from a list of pure gases or create a custom gas mix (varies by model, see Fox Thermal website for lists of available gases by model).

* Approvals and Compliance * *
Fox flow meters have extensive approvals and are compliant with EPA accuracy requirements.
