Fluidwell F016 Intrinsically Safe Flow rate Indicator | ATEX

The Fluidwell F016 Intrinsically Safe Flow rate Indicator is a high-performance solution engineered for the simultaneous monitoring of two separate flow streams in hazardous environments. This versatile indicator displays individual flow rates and totals, while also calculating and showing the resulting sum or differential, providing essential data for complex industrial processes.

Description

Precision Dual-Input Calculation for Hazardous Zones

The Fluidwell F016 Intrinsically Safe Flow rate Indicator addresses the need for advanced flow calculations in safe and hazardous areas alike. Unlike standard indicators, the F016 processes two independent flowmeter signals to calculate a resulting value. This is particularly valuable for differential flow measurement—such as calculating net fuel consumption by measuring supply and return lines—or for summing the total volume of split pipelines.

Unrivaled Durability in Harsh Climates

Every unit in the F-Series is built to endure. The F016 is available in a professional-grade enclosure made of Aluminum or high-quality Stainless Steel 316L. These housings are so rugged that they can withstand the weight of a truck standing on them. With IP65, IP67, and NEMA Type 4X ratings, the internal electronics are completely protected against heavy rain, snow, abrasive desert dust, and salty coastal air.

User-Focused Design and Safety Compliance

Installation and operation are simplified by the “Know one, know them all” configuration menu, reducing the learning curve for technicians. For hazardous area security, the F016 carries ATEX, IECEx, FM, and CSA certifications for both gas and dust applications. To prevent data loss, an automatic backup feature stores all configuration settings and running totals in non-volatile EEPROM memory, ensuring your information remains secure even during power interruptions or battery changes.
