Fluidwell E126-EG Explosion Proof Flowcomputer | Gas Correction

The Fluidwell E126-EG Explosion Proof Flowcomputer is a high-end industrial instrument specifically engineered for advanced gas flow measurement in hazardous environments. This sophisticated flow computer excels at calculating corrected gas volumes by processing real-time pressure and temperature compensation, ensuring fiscal-grade accuracy where standard indicators fail.

Description

Advanced Gas Volume Correction and Precision

The Fluidwell E126-EG Explosion Proof Flowcomputer serves as a dedicated intelligence hub for gas flow systems. Unlike basic totalizers, the E126-EG utilizes complex algorithms to compensate for the compressibility and density changes of gases caused by fluctuating temperatures and pressures. By integrating inputs from flow, temperature, and pressure sensors, it provides a highly accurate “corrected” flow rate and total, which is essential for accurate billing, custody transfer, and process efficiency.

Engineered for Hazardous Zone Reliability

As a key member of the Fluidwell E-Series, this instrument adheres to the “Know one, know them all” configuration philosophy. This standardized menu structure allows technical teams to commission the Fluidwell E126-EG Explosion Proof Flowcomputer quickly, minimizing the time spent in potentially dangerous restricted areas. The unit features a heavy-duty, corrosion-resistant housing with a UV-resistant glass window. Operators can safely interact with the device through the glass using capacitive touch keys, ensuring the explosion-proof seal remains intact at all times.

Seamless Integration and Data Integrity

Modern industrial facilities require high-speed data availability, and the E126-EG delivers with multiple communication protocols. Whether you require HART, Modbus RTU (RS485), or a standard 4-20mA analog signal, this flow computer integrates effortlessly into your existing SCADA or PLC network. To prevent data loss during power interruptions, all configuration settings and accumulated totals are automatically saved in non-volatile EEPROM memory, providing 100% data security for critical operations.
