Measure Methane Flow

The Fluid Components International ST51 flow meter is designed to measure the flow of biogases, methane, and other greenhouse gas mixtures. The flow meter comes in an explosion-proof instrument and features a no-moving-parts design that’s nonclogging and operates over a wide flow range with low-flow sensitivity. A big plus is that the meter calibration is matched to the user’s actual gas composition and installation conditions.

The ST51 features a thermal mass, insertion-style flow element with flow accuracy to ±1% of reading over a broad flow range from 0.3 to 400 fps and repeatability of ±0.5%. The flow element is available for use in line sizes from 2 to 24 inches diameter. It operates over a wide turndown range of 100:1, which is essential due to the variable gas flows in landfill gas recovery and wastewater treatment. (www.fluidcomponents.com)
