ST50 MASS FLOW METER
Installation and Operation Guide
Pre-Installation
The ST50 can be specied with integral or remote electronics. The ow element has a serial number etched into the side of the extension pipe as shown in Figure A. The transmitter circuit card has a serial number noted on the board as shown in Figure B. The ow sensor and transmitter circuit have been calibrated as a matched set and should be paired together in service unless otherwise approved by a factory technician.
All sensor elements have a ow arrow indicator marked on the element assembly at the reference at. These ow elements have been calibrated in a particular direction and are designed to be used in service with the ow arrow facing in the same direction as ow in the pipe stream. See Appendix C for orientation and factory calibration details.
Recommended Straight Run
To optimize ow meter system performance, FCI recommends installation with a minimum of 20 pipe diameters upstream straight run and 10 pipe diameters of downstream straight run. Where straight run limitations signicantly reduce the available pipe diameters, FCI uses Vortab ow conditioners to produce a transferable ow prole from the calibration installation to actual eld installations. FCI’s proprietary AVAL software is available to make ow meter installation evaluations where straight run limitations are considered. See Figure C for recommended installation.
Figure C
FCI ow meters may be installed with less than the recommended straight run, but may have performance limitations. FCI offers Vortab ow conditioners for use in applications that have signicant straight run limitations. FCI uses the AVAL application modeling software to predict meter performance in each installation. AVAL outputs are available to review prior to order placement and will indicate performance expectations both with and without Vortab ow conditioning.

Installing Flow Element
Compression Fitting Mounting
Caution: The element is shipped with a protective sleeve surrounding the ow element. After removing the sleeve, take care to prevent the element from sliding through the compression tting and contacting the opposing wall with any force as it may cause damage to the element and potentially upset the calibration.
The ST50 is available with both Teon compression tting ferrules and metal ferrules. While the Teon ferrule conguration can be readjusted, it is possible for over-tightening to cause permanent positioning or damage to the extension pipe that makes future adjustment difcult. While Teon provides for some adjustability, it has a lower process pressure rating and is not designed for continuous adjustments. The metal ferrule version can only be tightened down once and it becomes permanently positioned. The ferrule type is indicated in the instrument part number displayed on the instrument tag. This can be cross referenced to the ordering information sheet.
All ow meters have been calibrated with the ow element located at the centerline of the pipe and ow stream as indicated in Figure D. Couplings and threadolets come in various dimensions. Proper installation requires that the element be measured with consideration to process connection dimensions and pipe centerline. FCI recommends that the element be rst installed in the line with the compression tting lightly tightened around the extension, then slowly move the pipe extension forward until the element is at centerline as shown.
Caution: On top mount installations, particularly, take care to prevent the element from sliding through the compression tting and contacting the opposing wall with any force as it may cause damage to the element and potentially upset the calibration.
FLOW ELEMENT INSTALLATION & “U” LENGTH ADJUSTMENT
Figure D
Note: For proper performance install the element so that probe tip is .50 inches [13 mm] past pipe centerline. Instrument is specically calibrated for centerline referenced installation, which is critical for line sizes 4″ [25 mm] and smaller.

Fluid Components International LLC ST50 Mass Flow Meter
To assist in nal installation, FCI suggests making a readable mark on the extension pipe to indicate the nal desired compression tting position that will place the element at the centerline reference once the system is tightened down into place. With the compression tting lightly tightened, hold the element assembly along the outside of the installation, or directly above, to visually check the compression tting’s centerline installation. To calculate the actual “U” length dimension, take the inside diameter of the pipe or duct divide by 2, then add 0.25″, then add for the pipe wall thickness and the process tting offset that allows the compression tting to securely seat in the process port. See Figure D above.
Align the at parallel to ow and adjust the instrument depth. Upon determination of the nal compression tting location on the extension pipe, apply the proper thread sealant to the NPT threads and rmly tighten the compression tting into the mating process connection. Torque varies per application. Tighten the compression nut to the torque indicated with the corresponding ferrule material. Manufacturer recommends 1-1/4 turns from hand-tight baseline.

Retractable Packing Gland Mounting
A retractable packing gland, with ½″ MNPT or ¾″ MNPT threads and graphite or Teon packing, is a process connection option. FCI single point ow meters are calibrated at the centerline of the process pipe. The ow element is properly mounted when the tip of the ow element is located .50 inches (13 mm) past the pipe centerline. Follow the below steps to install/retract instruments with the retractable packing gland option.
1. The scale etched on the side of the insertion probe indicates the length to the tip of the ow element. Calculate the insertion depth using the equation, variables, and Figure E below.
ID = Inside Diameter of Pipe T = Pipe Wall Thickness C = Mounting Coupling with Optional Ball Valve and Installed Packing Gland Length
INSERTION DEPTH = ______________
Figure E
2. Mark the insertion pipe at the calculated insertion depth.
3. Ball Valve Applications Only: If a ball valve is required, install the ball valve to the process mounting coupling. Close the ball valve to prevent the process media from leaking out when installing the packing gland with the process line pressurized.
4. Apply the proper thread sealant compatible with the process media to the male threads of the packing gland. Fully retract the insertion probe into the cavity of the packing gland and install the packing gland into the process mounting coupling or ball valve. If a ball valve is not used, make sure to rst depressurize the process line before installing.

Page 5
ST50 Mass Flow Meter Fluid Components International LLC
5. Tighten the packing nut until the internal packing is tight enough to prevent excess process leakage, but also allow the insertion probe to be inserted into place. For ball valve applications, open the ball valve after the packing nut has been tightened.
Caution: For applications where the process media is pressurized to greater than 232 psig [16 bar(g)] make sure to rst depressurize the process line before making the insertion.
6. Align the orientation at and ow arrow parallel to the ow direction and proceed to insert the ow element into the process media pipe up to the insertion depth mark.
7. Tighten the packing nut another ½ to 1 turn tight (approximately 20 ft-lbs) until the packing has created a full seal.
8. Ensure the locking collar is properly secured to the back of the packing gland. Torque the two No. 8-32 socket head cap screws on the locking collar to 20 in-lbs using a 9/64″ hex key.
Retraction/Removal Procedure
1. Loosen the socket head cap screw on the side of the locking collar. See Figure F below.
Figure F
Caution: For applications where the process media is pressurized to greater than 232 psig [16 bar(g)] make sure to rst depressurize the process line before retracting the ow element. At 232 psig [16 bar(g)], the effective force on the insertion probe is 45.5 lbs (20.6 kg), which is the limit at which the ow element can be safely guided by hand. When using hands to restrain the retraction, be prepared for a rapid pressure impulse of the ow element. Make sure that there are no objects directly behind the ow element as the insertion probe may retract very quickly.
2. Slowly loosen the packing nut until the insertion probe begins to retract. Use hands as needed to help control the retraction. If the probe does not begin to retract itself, gently shake and pull the insertion probe until the ow element has been fully retracted into the packing gland.
3. For ball valve applications, close the ball valve immediately after retraction to seal off the process. After closing the ball valve it is then safe to remove the ow element from the back end of the ball valve. If a ball valve is not being used, make sure to rst depressurize the process line before removing the ow element.

Instrument Wiring
Before the instrument is opened to connect power and signal, FCI recommends that the following ESD precautions be observed:
Use a wrist band or heel strap with a 1 megohm resistor connected to ground. If the instrument is in the shop setting, there should be a static conductive mat on the work table or oor with a 1 megohm resistor connected to ground. Connect the instrument to ground. Apply antistatic agents such as Static Free made by Chemtronics (or equivalent) to hand tools to be used on the instrument. Keep high static producing items away from the instrument.
The above precautions are minimum requirements. The complete use of ESD precautions can be found in the U.S. Dept of Defense Handbook 263.
Make sure power is OFF before wiring the instrument. Pull the power and signal output wires through the port, using care not to damage wires. FCI recommends using crimp lugs on the output wires to ensure proper connection with the terminal strip. Connect the output wires as shown on Figures G and H.
Warning: Only qualied personnel are to wire or test this instrument. The operator assumes all responsibility for safe practices while wiring and troubleshooting.
Install an input power disconnect switch and fuse near the instrument to interrupt power during installation and maintenance. Operator must have power disconnected before wiring.

Pulse Output Activation
The ST50 provides an optional pulse output feature. Instruments ordered with this feature and volumetric or mass ow units will be factory set with totalizer and pulse output activated. The mode can be changed in the eld. See the examples of source and sink output wiring in Figures G and H above. Though only one conguration is shown with the VAC and VDC power supplies, the source or sink can be used with either power input.
Source Mode: 15 VDC output, 50 mA max.
Sink Mode: 40 VDC max, 150 mA max. Customer-supplied power source.
Pulse Output Setup
The ST50 mass ow meter pulse output can be congured for either a pulse train (factory standard) for an external counter and/ or ow rate indication or an alarm. The pulse output can be wired to use a source or sink outputs. The maximum frequency of the pulse output is 500 Hz. Set up the totalizer rst, then congure the sink/source pulse output as required for the application (sink/ source output, pulse factor, sample period and pulse state.
Source mode: In this mode the ow meter electronics supplies the voltage and current for the pulse. Maximum 15 VDC and
50 mA (depends on the connected load).
Sink mode: If the connected load requires >15 VDC and 50 mA an external power supply is required. Maximum 40 VDC
and 150 mA.
Pulse factor: Number of pulses per selected engineering unit. Default = 1
Example in NCMH:
1 = 1 pulse per NCM
0.1 = 1 pulse per 0.1 NCM (10 pulses per 1 NCM)
10 = 1 pulse per 10 NCM
Range pulse factor 0.001 – 1000
Sample time: Time in seconds before calculating the next number of pulses.
Pulse state: Transitions High to Low or Low to High. Meaning the pulse is normally high or low.
Pulse Output Functions
Alarm: Set in Source or Sink mode. With this function selected, the transistor driver state changes from high to low or
low to high, depending on the selected pulse state, at a set ow rate (pulse factor and sample time not required).
Counter: Set in Source or Sink mode. The transistor driver outputs the calculated number of pulses* based on the
indicated ow. And external display will indicate the totalized ow.
Flow rate: Set in Source or Sink mode. The transistor driver outputs the calculated number of pulses* based on the
indicated ow. External display set to calculate ow from incoming pulses.
* Each sample period the number of pulses are calculated and output by the open collector. Any remaining fractional pulse in the calculation will be added to the
next sample. Example:
Flow = 90 NCMM (= 1.5 NCMS), Pulse factor =1, sample time is 1.
After 1 second the number of calculated pulses is 1.5, pulse out is 1. Remainder = 0.5
After the next second the number of pulses is 2 (1.5+0.5), pulses out is 2. Remainder = 0

Menu Control and Organization
Most entries require at least two key strokes; a capital letter and the [ENTER] key, or one or more numbers and the [ENTER] key. All user entries begin at the input mode prompt “>”, except when the instrument is in the Main Function Mode (just press the desired function letter and [ENTER] to make an entry).
Backspaces are made using the backspace [BKSP] key. Some entries are case sensitive between numbers and letters. Be sure the SHIFT key is pressed to indicate the correct case. A square after the prompt caret indicates the FC88 is in lower case. A slightly raised rectangle in the same spot indicates the FC88 is in the upper case.
It is recommended that the FC88 be plugged into the instrument before power is applied. If the FC88 is plugged in while the instrument power is ON and the FC88 does not respond, press [ENTER]. If there is still no response press [N] or cycle the power.
Note: The Zero and Span may be changed from the original calibration, provided the new values are within the original calibrated range; i.e., if the original calibration was 1 to 100 SCFM (4-20 mA), the new zero (4 mA) must be equal to or greater than 1 SCFM, and the new span (20 mA) must be equal to or less than 100 SCFM.
Some entries require a Factory pass code. If this occurs contact FCI Field Service to continue programming the instrument. The instrument will prompt the user when this is necessary. Do not change any parameters that require this code unless there is an absolute understanding of the instrument’s operation. The user cannot exit some routines unless all entries are completed or the power is cycled.
Note: Always press “T” before unplugging the FC88. If a frozen meter display is observed, reconnect the FC88 and wait 5 seconds for the meter to initialize. Disconnect the FC88 and conrm your meter display is varying.
The top level of the menu is shown in "Table 5. ST50 List of Single Letter Commands" on page 21. Enter the command letter mnemonic as listed in the tables below and in Appendix B to run a command. Exit a command at any time by entering “Q” [ENTER] in the menus D, K, V, W, or Z.

Maintenance
The FCI instrument requires little maintenance. There are no moving parts or mechanical parts subject to wear in the instrument. The sensor assembly, which is exposed to the process media, is composed of 316 SS and Hastelloy C.
Without detailed knowledge of the environmental parameters of the application surroundings and process media, FCI cannot make specic recommendations for periodic inspection, cleaning, or testing procedures. However, some suggested general guidelines for maintenance steps are offered below. Use operating experience to establish the frequency of each type of maintenance.
Calibration
Periodically verify the calibration of the output and recalibrate if necessary. FCI recommends every 18 months at a minimum.
Note: Thirty (30) minute warm-up required before calibration check.
Electrical Connections
Periodically inspect cable connections on terminal strips and terminal blocks. Verify that terminal connections are tight and physically sound with no sign of corrosion.
Remote Enclosure
Verify that the moisture barriers and seals protecting the electronics in the local enclosure is adequate and that no moisture is entering the enclosure.
Electrical Wiring
FCI recommends occasional inspection of the system’s interconnecting cable, power wiring and ow element wiring on a “common sense” basis related to the application environment. Periodically inspect the conductors for corrosion and check the cable insulation for signs of deterioration.
Flow Element Connections
Verify that all seals are performing properly and that there is no leakage of the process media. Check for deterioration of the gaskets and environmental seals used.
Insertion Type Flow Element Assembly
Periodically remove the ow element for inspection based on historical evidence of debris, foreign matter, or scale build-up and appropriate plant shutdown schedules and procedures. Check for corrosion, stress cracking, and/or build-up of oxides, salts, or foreign substances. The thermowells must be free of excessive contaminants and be physically intact. Any debris or residue build-up could cause inaccurate ow indication. Clean the ow element, as necessary, with a soft brush and available solvents (compatible with stainless steel).

Troubleshooting
Application Verification
After verifying that the ow meter is functioning, review the application parameters as shown below to verify the calibration matches the process media.
Equipment Needed
Flow Instrument Calibration Data Process Parameters and Limits
Check Serial Numbers
Verify that the serial number of the ow element and the ow transmitter electronics are the same. The ow element and the ow transmitter are a matched set and cannot be operated independently of each other.
Check the Instrument Installation
Verify correct mechanical and electrical installation. Verify the ow element is mounted at least 20 diameters downstream and 10 diameters upstream from any bends or interference in the process pipe or duct.
Check for Moisture
Check for moisture on the ow transmitter. Moisture may cause intermittent operation. Check for moisture on the ow element. If a component of the process media is near its saturation temperature it may condense on the ow element. Place the ow element where the process media is well above the saturation temperature of any of the process gases.
Check Application Design Requirements
Application design problems may occur with rst time application instruments, although the design should also be checked on instruments that have been in operation for some time. If the application design does not match eld conditions, errors occur.
1. Review the application design with plant operation personnel and plant engineers.
2. Ensure that plant equipment such as pressure and temperature instruments conform to the actual conditions.
3. Verify operating temperature, operating pressure, line size, and gas medium.
Verify Standard Versus Actual Process Conditions
The ow meter measures the mass ow rate. The mass ow rate is the mass of the gas owing through a pipe per time. Other ow meters, such as an orice plate or a pitot tube, measure the volumetric ow rate. The volumetric ow rate is the volume of gas per time. If the readings displayed do not agree with another instrument, some calculations may be necessary before comparing them. To calculate the mass ow rate, the volumetric ow rate, and the pressure and temperature, the point of measurement must be known. Use the following equation to calculate the mass ow rate (Standard Volumetric Flow rate) for the other instrument:

Calibration Parameters Verification
The instrument uses a set of predetermined calibration parameters to process ow signals. Most of these parameters should not change. A data package included with the instrument (typically on a CD-ROM) contains the ST50 Delta R Data Sheet. The data sheet contains the calibration parameters stored in the ow transmitter at the factory. To verify that these parameters have not changed, complete the following:
1. Identify the appropriate Delta R data sheets by instrument serial number.
2. Press [D] [ENTER] to examine each of the parameters. The [ENTER] key allows scrolling one message at a time. Use Table 4 below to record actual instrument parameters. Compare with the Delta R data sheet’s ST50 parameters.

Hardware Verification
Equipment Required:
• Digital Multimeter
• Screwdriver
The ST50 ow meter is made up of these basic components:
• Sensor element
• Customer interface circuit board
• Control circuit assembly circuit board module
• Electronics enclosure
Step 1
Verify fuse (F1) located on the customer interface circuit board is in normal working condition.
Remove power from the instrument. Open the electronics enclosure exposing the customer interface circuit board. This circuit board is located under the shorter enclosure lid along with all of the power and input/output connections. Unscrew the clear cover on the fuse and pull the fuse out of the fuse holder. Check the fuse for continuity. If fuse reads open, replace with equivalent component (FCI part no. 019933-01), Wickmann Inc. Series 374, 1.6 A (amp code 1160), package 0410 (short radial leads).
Fuse (F1)
AC power customer interface circuit board shown. Fuse (F1) on DC power customer interface circuit board located in similar position.
Step 2
Verify interconnecting cable from the customer interface board and the control circuit board assembly module are correctly seated into the appropriate header.
Remove power from the instrument. Open the electronics enclosure exposing the customer interface circuit board. This circuit board is located under the shorter enclosure lid along with all of the power and input/output connections. Remove the 2 screws securing the interface circuit board to the electronics enclosure. Carefully lift the interface face board exposing the interconnecting cable between the interface board and the control circuit assembly. Verify cable is seated rmly at both ends of the cable header.

ST50 Mass Flow Meter Fluid Components International LLC
Step 3
Verify sensor element continuity and resistance.
Remove sensor element cable from the bottom of the control circuit assembly. Note that 2 of the wires have a red stripe and are located closest to the interconnecting cable header. Using an ohmmeter verify that resistance between the 2 red striped wires is approximately 1100 ohms ±20. This resistance is temperature dependant. The resistance at 70 degrees F is about 1082 ohms. Verify the resistance between the 2 natural colored wires are approximately the same.

Transmitter Circuit Calibration Check (Delta R Verification)
References
• Delta ‘R’ Data Sheet
Equipment
• FC88 Communicator or equivalent.
• DMM
• Delta R Data Sheet – Match by serial numbers
• 2 ea. precision decade resistance boxes, 0.1% (Largest steps: 1k ohm, smallest steps 0.01 ohms)
• 250-ohm axial lead precision resistor, 0.1% or better, 1 W
• Small at blade screwdriver, 3/32 inches wide blade
• FCI normalization cable, FCI part number 006407
Procedure
Note: Thirty (30) minute warm-up required before calibration check.
1. Verify all “D” mode calibration parameters are correct according to the meter’s Delta R data sheet before starting verication.
2. Turn power OFF.
3. Mark all sensor element wires connected to the circuit board for easy reconnection to the proper terminals. Disconnect the wires.
4. Connect the resistance decade box to the electronics as per the appropriate wiring diagram for the ST50.
Note: Interconnector wiring (resistance decade box to electronics) must be same gauge and length to avoid any inaccuracies in the Delta R verication caused by unequal wire lengths and/or wire gauges. Use of the FCI normalization cable avoids this issue.
5. Connect the 250-ohm precision resistor across the 4-20 mA output terminals.
6. Set both decade boxes for the nominal resistance value (1000 ohms) ±0.01%.
7. Connect DMM, set to volts DC (V), to the meter’s output termination and monitor the meter output.
8. Turn power ON and allow the instrument 5 minutes to stabilize.
9. With the FC88 connected press [T] [Enter] to view the normal operating mode.
10. Adjust the Active Decade Box (Reference decade box remains xed @ 1000 ohms) to achieve the appropriate Delta R for the displayed ow value and output, noted on the meter’s Delta R data sheet.
11. Note the [C] mode and verify the meters displayed TCDR and REFR values corresponding to the displayed ow rate as per the meter’s Delta R data sheet.
