The GF Series Gas Mass Flowmeters combine FCI’s highly
reliable Thermal Dispersion, no-moving-parts flow element design
with an advanced microprocessor-based programmable transmitter.
Performance and durability are unmatched in tough industrial appli-
cations ranging from exhaust stack gas to digester gas to hydrogen
make-up gas flow metering.
Reliability, Flexibility in Industrial Applications
The GF Series Mass Flowmeters are available in two models: the
GF90 with an insertion flow element and the GF92 with an inline
flow element. Both models feature standard 316 stainless steel,
nickel braze construction. Corrosion- and abrasion-resistant
alloys and all-welded construction are available for select service
in harsh process environments.
FCI’s advanced constant power Thermal Dispersion technology
provides the GF Series Mass Flowmeters with turndowns up to 1000:1,
repeatability of ±0.5% reading or better, and flow rate accuracy of
±1% reading plus 0.5% full scale.
The GF Insertion Model The GF90 is available for use
in ducts or pipe sizes with a suggested minimum 2.0 inch (5.1 cm)
nominal inside diameter. The standard flow element has a 1 inch
male NPT process connection and an application specific insertion

length. Flange connections and field retractable packing gland
assemblies are also available.
Flow sensitivity ranges from 0.25 to 1600 SFPS (ft/sec at a
standard temperature of 70°F and pressure of 14.7 psia) or 0.08 to
487.7 NMPS [m/sec at a normal temperature of 21.1°C and pres-
sure of 1.013 bar (absolute)].
The GF92 Inline Model The GF92 is used for gas mass
flow metering in pipe lines or tubing sizes from 0.125 to 3 inches
(0.3175 to 7.62 centimeters). It has a standard body length of 7.25
inches (18.4 centimeters) for installation in 1 inch (2.54 centimeters)
flow tubes and 12 inches (30.48 centimeters) for 1.5 to 3 inch (3.81
to 7.62 centimeters) pipe sizes. Custom lengths are also available.
Flow sensitivity ranges from 0.006 to 2000 SCFM (ft3 /min at a
standard temperature of 70°F and pressure of 14.7 psia) or 0.01 to
3398 Nm3/h [m3/hr at a normal temperature of 21.1°C and pressure
of 1.013 bar (absolute)]. Contact FCI or an FCI representative for
the specific flow range sensitivity for your application.
Smart Electronics The GF Series’ microprocessor-based
electronics are easily addressable via a built-in keypad or through
the serial ports and allow complete in-field reconfiguration to the
instrument’s performance parameters (i.e., the changing of relay set

Multiple Calibration Groups. Up to three calibration groups
can be stored in a single GF Series transmitter. Each group can

quires periodic purging with nitrogen gas can be measured with

for each gas can be stored in one of three available groups. Each Process Gas at 250 ° F
calibration group can be manually or automatically selected to
provide an accurate indication of a specific process gas. Check Valve
The three calibration groups can also be utilized to enhance
or preserve accuracy over wide flow turndowns. Accurate flows
with turndown ratios of 1000:1 are possible through group linkage. Nitrogen Purge at 70 ° F

In addition, automatic switching between groups can also be con-

trolled by process temperature variations.
Auxiliary Input Terminal. An auxiliary input terminal is available
for connection to an external signal source. This terminal provides
a method for remotely switching between calibration groups.
System Approvals. Local flow element and remote transmitter
enclosures that meet hazardous location explosion-proof protection
are available. Agency system approvals for FCI’s GF Series Mass
Flowmeters include Factory Mutual Research (FM), CE Mark and
CENELEC. Other agency approvals are available for special applications.
A fiberglass NEMA/CSA Type enclosure is standard. All aluminum
and stainless steel enclosures are rated for hazardous location use.
FCI’s Instrument User’s Protection Plan
Guaranteed Performance. FCI guarantees the performance of
its entire product line -- including mass flowmeters, flow switch/
monitors and liquid level/interface controllers -- in accepted
applications or your money back.
3-Year Warranty. All FCI products are warranted against faulty
materials or workmanship for three full years from the date of
delivery to the buyer. (Ask for a copy of our complete warranty.)
Customer Service. FCI provides prompt 24 hour customer
service including expedited field service, start-up assistance and
commissioning, repair support, and toll-free factory service.

Test and Calibration Laboratory Fluid Components
Intl maintains an extensive, instrument test and calibration labora-
tory at its headquarters in San Marcos, California. Utilizing the latest
in advanced, computerized data acquisition sys tems and calibration
test equipment, this facility permits comprehensive product devel-
opment, testing, and calibration. Any FCI product can be calibrated
in accordance with cus tomer specifications. Laboratory standards
are maintained with NIST (National Institute of Standards and
Technology) traceable Cavitating Venturis (CVs) and precisely cali-
brated, pressure and temperature corrected turbine flowmeters.
Combustible and non-combustible gas calibration flow
stands allow for the calibration of FCI products in a wide range of
gases and gas mixtures from flow stand line sizes as small as 1/8
inch to 30 inches (3 to 760 mm) in diameter. A variety of flow
profiles from laminar to turbulent to conditioned are generated to
duplicate actual field conditions. Flow rates from 0 to 20,000+ SCFM
(0 to 34,000 Nm3/h), velocities from 0 to 800 SFPS (0 to 240 NMPS),
pressures from vacuum to 3000 psig [200 bar(g)], and tempera-
tures from -100º to +900ºF (-70º to +480ºC) are available.
On-Site Calibration and Training In-situ calibration
is available from FCI’s Field Service engineers where precise test
and calibration is accomplished in actual media conditions.
FCI’s Training Department can provide on-site or at the
factory Product Knowledge Workshops for our customers. The
workshops cover installation, setup, and troubleshooting skills,
and include hands-on exercises using real products, under actual
operating conditions.
