FLO-CORP Now Part of the Cross Company Lineup - Level & Flow Products

from the Instrumentation Group (Mid Atlantic) at Cross

The Instrumentation Group (Mid Atlantic) at Cross is pleased to announce a partnership with FLO-CORP - a global leader in the design, development and manufacture of advanced flow, level and display instrumentation.  FLO-CORP specializes in providing complete, customized measurement solutions solving demanding and difficult applications.

Coriolis Mass Flow Meters

Two parallel flow tubes inside the MassFlo meter are rotated at their resonant frequency by coils and any mass flowing through the tubes will generate Coriolis forces.  These forces have opposed effects on the inlet and outlet side and slightly deform the tubes.  Sensors inside the flow meter measure the deformation of the tubes.  The phase shift between the rotational frequencies of both tubes is proportional to the mass flow rate.

The resonant freqeuncy of the tubes changes in accordance with the density of the medium, which is used to determine density.  The extent of deformation of the pipes depends on temperature so the temp is measured for compensation purposes.  Then using one sensor primary values as mass flow, density and temperature can be measured.  Conversions allow for calculation of additional values such as volumetric and concentration.

Features include:
  • NEMA 4X and Explosion Proof - Class 1, Groups A, B, C, D
  • dual analog outputs
  • accuracy of +/- 0.5% of reading
  • pulse output
  • RS 485 interface
  • 24 VDC power
  • dual flow tube design
  • easy to read LCD display
Typical applications include oil, methanol and catalyst streams industrial paints, various gases, slurries, beverages and any fluid measurement requiring high accuracy and density with temperature measurement.

AccuTank™  Radar Level Monitoring System

The AccuTank™ Radar Level Monitoring System from FLO-CORP is a precise, innovative and reliable remote monitoring system.  This system features revolutionary Time Domain Reflectometry (TDR) technology, which is a low energy, high frequency electromagnetic impulses, generated by the sensor's circuitry, which are propagated along the probe which is immerged in the liquid to be measured.

When these impulses hit the surface of the liquid, part of the impulse energy is reflected back up the probe to the circuitry and it then calculates the fluid level from the time difference between the impulses sent and the impulses reflected, resulting in a very accurate read.

Features & Benefits include:
  • email alerts / alarm summary
  • easy installation
  • remote monitoring + real time info
  • data logging
  • time domain reflectometry technology
  • auto discovery for quick device detection
  • Ethernet communication
  • monitor unlimited devices
  • Modbus®
  • 6 digit LED display
  • NEMA 4X field mount or NEMA 7 explosion proof enclosure
Typical applications include stilling wells, bypass chambers, small - medium - large tank applications, processing & storage, difficult tank geometries, plus expceptional performance in liquids with low dielectric constant.

Three components make up the AccuTank™ Radar System

Universal Process Display - Field Mount or Panel Mount


Tracer 1000™ Radar Transmitter


DigaLink™ 2.0 Interactive Software

Tracer 1000Guided Radar Level Transmitter for Liquid Applications

Featuring Time Domain Reflectometry (TDR) technology, the Tracer 1000™ provides continuous radar level measurement and point level detection in liquids, with analog and switching output.  It has almost no installation restrictions (the 1" radar beam can be mounted in small tanks, tall and narrow nozzles and it measures precisely even with difficult tank geometries or close to interfering structures.  Ideal for various types of processing and storage applications and has an exceptional performance in liquids such as light oils and hydrocarbons.

Features & Benefits:
  • TDR technology
  • robust radar measurement
  • precise continuous level measurement
  • reliable point level detection
  • modular probe design & easy to install
  • HART® communication protocol
Typical applications include small atmospheric tanks and vacuum tanks, process reactors and blending vessels, stilling wells, processing and storage applications, sticky fluids with extreme cold and hot atmospheres, liquids with low dielectric constant, and difficult tank geometries.

The Instrumentation Group (Mid Atlantic) at Cross can help with your level & flow applications, no matter how difficult.

Have a Vacuum Measurement Application? Check out the XacTorr Series Digital Capacitance Manometer from Brooks Instrument

from the Instrumentation Group at Cross

What's the excitement about the XacTorr series capacitance manometer from Brooks Instrument?  Well, while many of you use the Brooks MFCs or VA meters for gas flow measurement and control, you may not be aware that Brooks also manufactures an exceptional capacitance manometer vacuum gauge series for vacuum measurement applications.  Hello XacTorr.

Brooks Instrument
XacTorr Capacitance Manometer


Terrific benefits of the Brooks XacTorr capacitance manometer provides for your low pressure application include:
  • extremely stable and repeatable measurement for pressure sensitive processes
  • full scale ranges from 1000 Torr to 100 mTorr
  • up to three times longer life in aggressive processes
  • unique diagnostic features for preventative maintenance
  • drop-in replacement for competitive vacuum gauges
XacTorr's Diagnostic Port


Brooks Instrument XacTorr's diagnostic port & software enables you to:
  • track remaining zero adjustment range to allow scheduled maintenance, reducing unplanned interruptions
  • monitor & troubleshoot without interfering with the tool communication system

Give it a try - you'll be glad you did.  Easier to use with up to 3 times longer life and increased stability over other capacitance manometers.

Brooks Instrument is a valued supplier of the Instrumentation Group at Cross
