Companies that choose to set Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) goals care about their long-term impact on the world. Fox Thermal mass flow meters provide cost-effective solutions for tracking and reporting environmental goals.
Repeatable, reliable, and accurate direct mass measurement of gas flow for consistent ESG reporting metrics.
Calibration Validation (CAL-V™) allows users in the field to ensure the flow meter retains its original NIST-traceable calibration.
Easy installation and low maintenance from a no-moving-parts design for long-term cost savings.
The concept of ESG - or Environmental, Social, and Governance - has become more important to oil & gas, manufacturing, agricultural, and industrial companies in recent years. Companies will publish their goals and report on progress for each of these areas in support of their Sustainability initiatives.
Investors have begun to incorporate these non-financial factors into their standard financial reporting and risk management analyses when determining risk and growth opportunities for a company.
For ESG sustainability reporting, flow meters are increasingly being used to help companies meet their Environmental goals. Thermal mass flow meters from Fox Thermal can be used to track natural gas consumption or greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions at many types of industrial facilities. These ESG metrics can be recorded, analyzed, and published online to demonstrate their energy or emissions reduction efforts.

Environmental criteria may include how a company performs as a steward of nature. Socially responsible criteria can encompass a company's relationships with its employees, supply chains, customers, and the communities in which it operates. Governance criteria are based on internal leadership, executive pay, audits, internal controls, and shareholder rights.
Large companies involved in the oil and gas industry have more frequently encountered the review of ESG criteria being applied to the vendor acceptance process. This may include a requirement of ESG reporting to disclose how a company is implementing ESG strategy into their operations or how well they are meeting their company ESG goals.
To prove that companies are meeting their ESG sustainability performance goals, they must first develop a baseline of current greenhouse gas emissions or fossil fuel consumption. Then, they must monitor the change over time to demonstrate progress.
For this reason, instrumentation that can track ESG data over time is instrumental for data collection. The Fox Thermal Model FT4X flow meter offers an advanced data logger with a time/date stamped alarm and event log with a 7-year history, as well as a power-off totalizer so that any power failure creates an event log entry.
The logs in the Model FT4X Data Logger also give information about the meter's settings and functionality, including the gas or gas mix composition and Calibration Validation historical test data. Users can view and print logs of events and alarms.
If you're not sure which flow meter is right for your application, our Help Me Choose app walks you through a short series of questions to help you choose the ideal meter.
Simply enter your process data and ESG reporting requirements into our automated thermal mass flow meter configurator. Drop-down menus and Help icons will guide you to answer each question.

Fox Thermal Model FT1 includes the Gas-SelectX® feature, which allows users to change the meter's gas or gas mix composition in the field, and the CAL-V™ Calibration Validation feature, which ensures that the meter still retains its original NIST-traceable calibration.
Features include:
The Model FT4A flow meter comes with an expanded gas selection menu in the Gas-SelectX® feature. Any combination of gases in the Mixed Gas and Oil & Gas Menus can be mixed in 0.000001% increments to create a custom gas mix directly from the FT4A View™ software menu.
Features include:
The FT4X flow meter measures mass flow rate/total and temperature. It comes with a BLM accuracy-compliant data logger which maintains a 7-year history that can be used for GHG emissions reporting. Includes the Gas-SelectX® and the CAL-V™ calibration validation features.
Features include:
Thermal mass flow meters monitor vent gas, flare & combustor gas, and natural gas for company ESG performance reporting.
EPA requires accurate flare gas monitoring and reporting to reduce methane and other GHG emissions.
