Product catalog summary
Introduction
Fluid Components International (FCI) specializes in providing flow and level measurement solutions for industrial processes using patented thermal dispersion technology. FCI offers both standard and custom-engineered products, ensuring accuracy, repeatability, and reliability at a low cost.
Flow Meters
FCI offers a range of thermal dispersion mass flow meters for air, gas, liquid, and slurry applications. These meters are designed for line sizes from 1/4" to 33' and feature no moving parts, wide turn-down ratios, and the ability to measure in high-temperature fluids up to 850°F. The technology uses two RTD sensors to measure mass flow rate based on temperature differences.
Flow Switches
FCI's flow switches, also using thermal dispersion technology, are available for air, gas, liquid, and slurry applications. They offer dual and single relay output models, are easy to install, and comply with SIL 2 standards. The FS10A model is designed for flow monitoring in analyzers and sampling systems.
Level Switches
FCI's level switches provide reliable fluid level detection with no moving parts. They can detect interfaces between non-miscible fluids and offer dual function for level and temperature measurement, compliant with SIL 2 standards.
Vortab® Flow Conditioners
FCI offers Vortab flow conditioners to address installation constraints and ensure accurate flow measurements in conditions with limited piping or flow disturbances.
OEM and Custom Solutions
FCI provides custom solutions for unique applications, offering modifications to standard products or entirely new designs, including special enclosures and exotic materials.
Flow Meter Selector
FCI offers a wide selection of thermal dispersion flow meters, including models like ST50, ST51, ST98, GF90, and ST100 Series, each designed for specific applications and conditions.

High Reliability, No Moving Parts Dual Function, Level and Temperature AC, DC and Loop Powering Options Interface Between Two Non-Miscible Fluids FCI liquid level and interface switches provide fast responding and accurate fluid level alarm or setpoint control. They sense the temperature difference between a heated sensor and an unheated reference sensor, where the difference is greatest in the absence of liquid and decreases proportionally as the elements are submerged in various fluids with varying thermal conductivities. When submerged the heated sensor cools as it dissipates heat and in turn,...
