This very accurate and reliable technology is well suited for virtually all air or gas measurement needs and used in some of the toughest applications. This meeting will discuss the theory and advantages of thermal dispersion and also touch why there is a need for flow conditioning with this technology. Steve Cox is currently employed as a regional sale manager with Fluid Components International in San Diego. He brings over 20 years experience in process and instrumentation and is familiar with various metering technologies. Steve is college educated in England and has lived and worked in both, England, Australia, and the USA. He lives with his wife Susan in Vista, California.
