Industrial gas flow meters must be rugged, packed with features and options, and ready to measure out of the box. Plant operators must often keep the process gas flow uninterrupted in order to keep production running. Shutting down production is costly and inefficient. Here are some great features of the award-winning industrial gas mass flow meters by Fox Thermal:
Our flow meters make ideal submeters for natural gas or other gas measurement across plant equipment and facilities. Fox Thermal meters have a proven track record for repeatable measurement, outstanding accuracy, and low maintenance costs.
Fox Thermal flow meters for industrial applications help you meet regulatory requirements or ESG goals for reporting emissions. Our meters provide highly accurate measurements, helping to measure flow, detect leaks, track allocation, and report emissions.
Fox Thermal mass flow meters with Gas-SelectX® and CAL-V™ calibration validation make it easy to change gas mixtures and check measurement accuracy in-situ to avoid costs associated with shutdowns for maintenance or recalibration.
The Fox Thermal Model FT1 includes a limited Gas-SelectX® gas selection menu and CAL-V™ calibration validation. It is CE, FM, and FMc approved, along with ATEX and IECEx. Applications include natural gas, nitrogen, oxygen, carbon dioxide, and more.
Features include:
The Fox Thermal Model FT4A includes the full Gas-SelectX® gas selection menu and CAL-V™ calibration validation. It is CE, FM, and FMc approved, along with ATEX and IECEx. Applications include gas separators, power plants, vapor recovery units, green completions, and more.
Features include:
The Fox Thermal Model FT2A flow meter has a large selection of communication protocol options available intrinsically. Options include BACnet MS/TP, RS485 Modbus RTU, Profibus-DP, DeviceNet, or Ethernet Modbus TCP. NEMA 4X approved for hazardous locations.
Features include:
Our thermal mass flow meters work well in any industrial environment. They can be used in various manufacturing and production plants, including the following:
Fox Thermal supplies mass flow meters for a wide range of applications in the industrial sector, including:
In the modern industrial sector, the need to meet emission reduction (ESG) goals, improve efficiency, and reduce downtime is paramount. Flow meters with accurate gas flow measurement capabilities is just the start of meeting these goals. It also requires a meter that is reliable and flexible.
Ensuring your meter runs accurately is easy with CAL-V™ calibration validation. This feature allows quick verification of the original NIST-traceable calibration from the factory. A CAL-V™ test can be run anytime and under process flow conditions and is available on the FT1, FT3, FT4A, and FT4X flow meter models.
The Gas-SelectX® feature, available on Fox Thermal flow meter models FT1, FT4A, and FT4X, allows technicians to program the meter’s gas composition settings while keeping the meter functioning in place and avoiding shutdowns. This reduction in maintenance and shutdown costs improves the overall performance of the site or process.

To develop cleaner solutions for our global energy needs, new methods for producing hydrogen and combining it with natural gas will fuel the need for more accurate energy flow meters.
Choose the best technology for your industrial application. Thermal mass flow meters are compared with differential pressure flow meters, turbine flow meters, Coriolis flow meters, ultrasonic flowmeters, and positive displacement flowmeters.
From pure hydrogen and hydrogen blend monitoring to fuel cells to natural gas transmission, Fox Thermal mass flow meters are the most accurate, reliable, convenient, and cost-efficient solutions on the market today.
Communities across the U.S. and the world are updating and improving their aging wastewater treatment facilities. Innovation in wastewater treatment practices that harness biogas for cogeneration are also on the rise. This industry has also been impacted by methane reduction goals worldwide.
Fox Thermal gas mass flow meters can accurately measure the air systems used in aerobic processes and the biogas from anaerobic treatment processes.
View Biogas ApplicationsThe demand for natural gas has led to offshore exploration and horizontal fraction drilling. The flowback from shale oil plays has many different components that must undergo a process to separate the water/chemical solution from the oil and gas components.
Fox Thermal mass flow meters can accurately measure gas components for accounting and allocation purposes and can monitor exhaust and vent gases for environmental impact.
View Oil & Gas ApplicationsIndustrial customers of all types rely on specialty gas producers to supply them with the pure or mixed gases that they need for their processes. Thermal gas mass flow meters from Fox Thermal can help specialty gas producers and industrial process facilities maintain a leak-free system.
Used for transfer or submetering of gases such as nitrogen, argon, helium, and oxygen, thermal mass flow meters are a cost-effective and accurate solution for monitoring flow.
View Pure Gas ApplicationsFlow meters are increasingly being used to help companies meet the emissions criteria for the environmental goals their companies have established as part of their larger Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) programs. Thermal mass flow meters can be used to track gas consumption or emissions at facilities.
Fox Thermal customers use our flow meters to proactively monitor their gas emissions and log the data to achieve a positive ESG rating.
