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 CMB has an innovative "U" tube Coriolis flow sensor design, featuring lightweight 316L stainless steel tubes with minimal welding and exclusive vibration dampening technology.
This design achieves higher long-term mechanical reliability and lower installation costs when compared to the typical heavy die-cast flow tube elements found in ordinary Coriolis devices.
The result is superior performance, low maintenance, long-life and value in a compact instrument with a footprint as small as 11.8 in (300mm) wide x 15 in (380mm) high x 4 in (105mm) deep.

The Model CMB flowmeter offers +/-0.15% accuracy at flow rates up to 2205 lb/min (60000 kg/hr) in line sizes up to 3 inches (76mm).
The CMB flow sensor operates over a wide temperature range from -40 to +356F (-40 to +180C).
It withstands pressures up to 580 psi [40 Bar (g)], and the sensor is protected by a lightweight die-cast housing for long-life in demanding industrial processes and plants.
The versatile CMB is available in eight line sizes from 1/8 to 3 inches (3 to 76mm) for processes in a wide range of industries, including chemical, food/beverage, oil/gas pharmaceutical and more.
Typical applications include liquid or gas flow in analysing, blending, custody transfer, distilling, formulating, mixing and testing - anywhere the precision measurement of flow rate and control of material is critically important to delivering a high quality product.
The Model CT Transmitter is a full-featured device designed for the CMB and all FCI CM series Coriolis sensors.
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.
In addition to the CMB Flow Meter, FCI also offers two other highly advanced Coriolis flow meters-the models CMU and CMM.
The CMU is designed for line sizes from 0.25 to 12 inches (6 to 305mm) and measures flow rates from 2.2 to 80,800 lb/hr (60 to 2,200,00 kg/hr).
It combines large line size service, high flow rate capability and outstanding measurement accuracy - all in a standard product available off-the-shelf without the customisation and long-lead times typically required.
FCI Model CMM flowmeter features the industry's widest standard configuration selection of the most popular and exotic wetted surface materials for service in harsh fluids-from water to acids, to corrosives, and even hazardous safety sensitive fluids such as phosgene.
Designed for service in line sizes from 1/8 to 2 inches (6 to 50mm), it measures flow rates up to 1460 lb/min (40,000 kg/hr) and is accurate to 0.1 percent in liquids and to 0.5 percent in gases (+/- reading).
