What if a 5–10% error in your flow readings quietly diverted tens of thousands of dollars from your fuel budget every year?
If your facility spends $400,000 annually on fuel, a 5% drift in flow meter accuracy means your reported usage could be off by $20,000. At 10% drift, that gap jumps to $40,000 between what the meter says and what is actually flowing through the pipe.
When a flow meter’s calibration drifts, it no longer performs according to its original accuracy spec, and the level of error in your readings increases over time. That uncertainty can hide wasted fuel, undermine burner tuning, and distort the data you rely on for process optimization and reporting.
Fox Thermal’s thermal gas mass flow meters provide direct mass flow measurement with no moving parts and no separate temperature or pressure compensation required—helping deliver accurate, repeatable gas flow data you can trust. Calibrations are performed with traceable standards at the factory. In addition, calibration validation diagnostics give you accuracy confidence in the field when you need it.
Learn how to interpret accuracy specs like “% of reading” and “% of full scale” so you know exactly what those percentages mean for your bottom line:
