Flo-Cal 6000, 8000 Online Calorimeters

The Thermo Scientific Flo-Cal 6000 and 8000 online, high-speed calorimeters are designed to accurately measure the heating value of combustible gases for refineries and related facilities, landfill operations, and steel plants. Both models build on the field-proven reputation of the Flo-Cal line and the company’s process instruments portfolio, offering key features to improve efficiency, plant safety and cost control. Designed to rapidly measure the heating content of gas streams in Wobbe Index, Calorific Value and/or Specific Gravity, the Flo-Cal 6000 and 8000 are ideal for monitoring the heating value of combustible gases, blended gas streams and gas heating value quality. The calorimeters are easy to use and calibrate, feature upgraded electronics to allow for unattended operation and have no moving parts to minimize maintenance. Both models are also now uniquely designed to integrate with the Thermo Scientific Sarasota FD900 gas density meter, creating one highly accurate system for Calorific Value and Specific Gravity measurement to further minimize maintenance and operational costs. The combined systems guarantee accuracy of .1kg/m3 for density and are capable of achieving specific gravity measurement of 0.1% of full scale. The Flo-Cal 6000 and 8000 fully integrate with the Modbus communications protocol to ensure seamless integration with plant control systems, offer 4-20 mA outputs to ensure plant safety and are available in hazardous-area designs or climate-controlled packaging.
