Fluid Components International (FCI) has several new flow instruments solutions for plant and process engineers who need accurate flow detection or measurement of air, gases, or liquids in smaller pipe sizes.

Using thermal dispersion flow measurement technology with no-moving parts, FCI’s ST75 Series provides solutions for use in 0.25 to 2 inch (DN6 to DN50) pipe or tubing.

They work well in situations of low flows, wide-turndowns, dirty fluids, HazEx or harsh installations.

The flow instruments offer advantages for service in plant, building or lab gas sub-metering, small inlet air/gas feed lines for boilers, gas relief valve monitoring, chemical injection, compressed air systems, cogen or CHP gas fuel measurement and control, and sampling systems.

Many small process line applications are difficult to measure reliably with high repeatability due to variations in temperature and pressure, and have wide flow rates.

FCI’s thermal flow meters and switches are unaffected by, or have on-board compensation for, temperature and pressure changes and, in addition to detection of low flow rates, provide 100:1 turndown as a standard feature.

FCI’s ST75 Series Air/Gas Flow Meters are ideal for lines sizes from 6mm to 51mm.

Gas or air measurement accuracy is available up to 1% of reading, ±0.5% full scale. The ST75 Meters feature a wide 100:1 turndown and will measure from 0,01 to 950 NCMH depending on pipe size.

FCI's range is available in Australia from AMS Instrumentation & Calibration.

It's a pause, not a pivot: APCO has confirmed it will delay its proposed EPR fee model until beyond FY27 following industry stakeholder calls for more regulatory clarity, fairer fee structures, and time to prepare.

PKN’s latest issue is now out and includes a preview of the finalists in our Women in Packaging Awards; the gold winners of the 2025 PIDAs; and the latest developments in Pack & Label Printing, Sustainability, Health & Wellness Packaging, and Packaging & Processing Machinery.

The annual WorldStar Awards ceremony took place in Milan last week, with strong representation from the ANZ region, which finished 4th in the world overall. PKN joined the Aussies in attendance.
