Thermal mass flowmeter for hazardous areas
The new ST50 flowmeter delivers exceptional performance, installation versatility and economy in air, compressed air or nitrogen and a variety of other processes gases, as well as plant HVAC systems
The CMM flowmeter wetted surface parts are available in nine standard materials that ensure compatibility and long-life.
Until now the choice of standard wetted surface materials available from other Coriolis flow meters suppliers has been limited.
This meant that many processes suitable for Coriolis flow metering had to settle for less accuracy or no measurement.

Flow and liquid level interface switch is SIL2
Built to comply with process industry precision requirements for flow, level and interface sensing in liquid, gas or foam, the innovative FLT93 Switch Series is now rated SIL2 compliant
Designed for service in line sizes from 1/8 to 2 inches (DN 6 to DN50), the CMM flow meter is a versatile flow measurement solution for flow rates up to 1460 lb/min (40,000 kg/hr) that is ideal for use in a wide range of processes.
The CMM is accurate to 0.1 percent in liquids and to 0.5 percent in gases.
For liquid applications demanding the utmost in accuracy, the optional 10-point CMM calibration service will boost accuracy to a superior 0.05 percent.
The CMM flow meter is designed with advanced flow sensor, thick-wall construction technology that makes it the right choice for high pressure applications as well.
In addition, standard process temperatures can be up to 500F (260 C).
For applications requiring ultra high pressure ratings, optional configurations are available, which can extend operating pressures up to 13,000 psi (900 bar).
The CMM is suitable for high reliability, high margin of safety applications in compressed natural gas, pressurised hydrogen and other hazardous environments.
The standard CMM flow meter is enclosed in a stainless steel body, with either aluminium or stainless steel covers that provide leak containment at ambient pressure and temperature conditions.
In challenging applications where leak protection is also a critical process or safety concern, the CMM flow meter is available with containment options of screw-on, bolted, or weld-on carbon steel or stainless steel covers that offer extended pressure ratings.
A ruggedised full-featured transmitter, the Model CT, is available to support the CMM flow meter.
Available as a blind transmitter or with an integral two-line LCD digital display, the transmitter is the electronics interface to the sensor and an array of analogue and/or digital outputs.
Standard outputs include dual 4-20mA, one standard with HART, a frequency/pulse output of total flow, and a binary output of instrument status.
Output options include Profibus-PA and a tamper-proof, custody transfer configuration that is sealed/certified, and prevents resetting of the internal totaliser.
The CT can be mounted integral with the sensor or remote mounted up to 1000 feet (300 m) away.
With the Model CMM, FCI expands Coriolis technology to serve a broad range of applications in chemical, petrochemical, oil/gas, pharmaceutical, food and beverage, pilot plants and many more.
Precision Coriolis flow measurement technology is here at last for the most challenging flow applications and toughest fluids.
Many challenging process applications that could be improved or achieve cost savings with high accuracy Coriolis flow measurement have been long ignored because of fluid compatibility limitations.
Typical Coriolis flowmeters have been limited to use with benign fluids compatible with stainless steel or Hallestoy C-22.
The new FCI Model CMM Coriolis flow meter product line overcomes these obstacles to expand the applications envelope for this technology.
