High Speed Calorimeter

Instrument
Fluid Data Flo-Cal

Description
The Fluid Data Flo-Cal is an online, high-speed calorimeter used to measure the heating value of combustible gases. The Flo-Cal fast response, reliable operation, and ease of maintenance and calibration have made Thermo ONIX the world leader in Wobbe Index and Calorific Value calorimeters. The Flo-Cal has two basic modes of operation: Wobbe Index and Calorific Value. Wobbe Index provides a meaningful measurement of the actual heating characteristics of a gas mixture. It measures the combined effects of gas composition changes. Calorific Value is the heat value of the gas at standard conditions expressed as Gross Heating Value or Net Heating Value. A specific gravity measurement option is available for Flo-Cal units measuring Calorific Value.

Features
Fast Response and Continuous Operation Wobbe Index or Calorific Value Easy Maintenance And Calibration High Reliability Modbus RS-485 Network Communications Continuous 4-20 mADC Output Auto-Cal Feature Using Microprocessor Option Flame Safety Automatic Interlock Available In General And Explosion-Proof Versions Specific Gravity Measurement Option Proven Over 20 Years Online Experience
