Corrosive Gas Flow Meters

OSI's Corrosive Gas Flow Meters utilize patented optical scintillation technology to deliver non-intrusive, maintenance-free flow measurement in harsh industrial environments including flare stacks, wet scrubbers, and thermal oxidizers. With ±2% accuracy and EPA 40 CFR Part 75 compliance, these sensors require no field calibration and are unaffected by corrosive gas compositions.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do OSI corrosive gas flow meters measure flow without contacting the gas stream?

OSI flow meters use patented optical scintillation technology, transmitting a light beam across the stack or duct. The sensor analyzes fluctuations in light intensity caused by the moving gas to calculate velocity — entirely non-intrusive, with no probes or wetted components inserted into the corrosive gas stream.

Are OSI optical flow meters suitable for EPA 40 CFR Part 75 compliance monitoring?

Do OSI corrosive gas flow meters require field calibration?

What velocity measurement range do these flow meters cover?

Can these sensors operate in high-opacity or moisture-laden gas environments?

What industries use OSI corrosive gas flow meters?
