The Fox Thermal Model FT4A was the first meter to use the expanded Gas-SelectX® gas selection menu and the 3rd Generation DDC-Sensor™ design.
Key Features:
Applications:
The free FT4A View™ software from Fox Thermal is a great way to connect to the Model FT4A from a PC or laptop to access the meter settings in a quick and visually appealing way. This software offers:
Note: For FT4A View™ software to function, please be sure to have a working version of Microsoft® Office installed on the PC before installing FT4A View™.
USB Driver and the Fox Thermal FT4A View™ Software
A USB driver is needed for FT4A View™ to run. If the USB drive does not install automatically, you will need to download it by following this link. Instructions are included on how to install it correctly.
The CAL-V™ test is used for Calibration Validation on the Model FT4A. This test does the following:
Use this test according to the manufacturer’s instructions in order to validate the calibration of the meter.
The Gas-SelectX® feature is a revolutionary new feature that allows the user to have a meter capable of measuring more than 10 different gases accurately. The user can choose from the list of gases below or mix any to create a custom gas mix specifically for their application! Every FT4A flowmeter is pre-calibrated for:
Pure Gas Menu
Mixed Gas Menu
Oil & Gas Menu
Any combination of gases in the Mixed Gas and Oil & Gas Menus can be mixed in 0.1% increments to create a custom gas mix. The Gas-SelectX® feature can be accessed through the front panel of the meter or by using the free FT4A View™ software tool.
*Natural gas refers to pipeline-quality dry natural gas. Fox Thermal uses the NAESB standard as the default composition for natural gas in the Pure Gas menu of Gas-SelectX®. Naturally occurring gas - from oil fields commonly referred to as Associated Gas – may have a different percentage of gas constituents in its composition. Use the Mixed Gas or Oil & Gas Menu in Gas-SelectX® to program the correct percentages of the natural gas or contact Fox Thermal for further information.
Flow meter accuracy is often dependent on achieving a uniform flow profile near the center of the pipe. Distortion and swirl are disturbances in flow that can be remedied either by extending the length of space between the cause of the disturbance and the sensing element (increasing straight pipe runs) or by adding a flow conditioner to correct the disturbance. Flow conditioners installed upstream of flow meters reduce the need for long, straight pipe runs. Common Features for Fox Thermal FC20 Flow Conditioner:
