The company offers a broad range of solutions from off-the-shelf devices to custom-engineered systems.
Flow meters from FCI are available with either Coriolis or thermal dispersion mass flow sensors.
FCI advanced flow meters combine precision flow measurement accuracy with a rugged design that is compatible with caustic, corrosive, humid and high temperature environments.
They are highly reliable, easy to install, require virtually no maintenance and are designed for long-life.
FCI flow switches feature an advanced no-moving parts thermal dispersion flow sensor that makes them ideal for a wide range of point-level process applications.
Their versatile design also allows them to measure flow or level or temperature.
The FCI NuTec flow switch is designed with a unique non-contacting flow element that completely separates the sensor from the process media, which makes it ideal in sanitary flow processes common to the food/beverage and pharmaceutical industries.
Custom designed flow and level sensors for OEM applications from FCI are ideal for use in a wide range of industrial equipment where monitoring, high/low alarming, metering, switching and totalising are required.
Suitable for air, liquid or gas applications, these devices feature advanced micro-electronics for direct mass flow measurement in a rugged, no-moving parts design that offers exceptionally high reliability and long-life.
Flow conditioners developed by the FCI Vortab Company provide a low pressure loss solution to correcting flow profile irregularities that affect the accuracy of flow instrumentation.
In today's crowded plants, elbows, valves, blowers and other devices in the pipeline can disrupt flowing media, which reduces measurement accuracy.
Vortab flow conditioners eliminate these flow disturbances to ensure accurate data.
FCI calibrates its own flow instruments and today operates one of the industry's leading flow analysis and calibration laboratories.
All laboratory equipment is National Institute of Standards (NIST) traceable, as well as certified to ISO 9001:2000 and AS9000 compliant.
The laboratory also meets MIL-STD-45662A and ANSI/NCSL-Z-540 requirements.
For more than 40 years, FCI has been a pioneer in the development of thermal dispersion sensors and more recently Coriolis sensors for direct mass flow measurement in a variety of media.
The company's advanced technologies include mechanical design, advanced materials, metallurgy, electronics, communications and more.
Fluid Components International is a global company committed to meeting the needs of its customers through innovative solutions to the most challenging requirements for sensing, measuring and controlling the flow and level of air, gases and liquids.
