FT-90 Fuel Flow Transducer

The FT-90 Fuel Flow Transducer by Electronics International is a precision-engineered device designed to accurately measure fuel flow in aircraft with engines ranging from 350 to 550 horsepower or those utilizing gravity-fed fuel systems. This transducer is essential for pilots and maintenance personnel seeking precise fuel consumption data, which is crucial for flight planning, fuel management, and overall operational efficiency.

Key Features:

• Wide Fuel Flow Range:
  The FT-90 accurately measures fuel flow rates from 3 to over 125 gallons per hour (GPH), accommodating a broad spectrum of aircraft types and engine configurations. This versatility ensures reliable measurements across various operational conditions.

• Low Pressure Drop:
  Designed to minimize resistance, the FT-90 maintains a pressure drop of 0.05 PSI at 20 GPH and 0.2 PSI at 40 GPH. This low pressure drop is crucial for maintaining optimal engine performance and efficiency.

• Durable Construction:
  Constructed from gold anodized aluminum, the FT-90 is both lightweight and resistant to corrosion, ensuring longevity and reliability in demanding aviation environments. Weighing approximately 5.3 ounces, it is designed for easy integration into existing fuel systems.

• Direct Interface Compatibility:
  The FT-90 interfaces directly with Electronics International's FP-5 and FP-5L fuel flow instruments, as well as most other fuel flow instruments, without the need for an additional interface unit. This simplifies installation and integration into existing systems.

• Compact Design:
  With dimensions of 1.375 inches in height, 1.620 inches in width, and 1.90 inches in length, the FT-90's compact design allows for flexible installation options within the aircraft's fuel system.

Installation Considerations:

• Orientation:
  For optimal performance, install the FT-90 with the wiring pointing upward. This orientation helps prevent air bubble entrapment, which can lead to inaccurate readings.

• Fitting Specifications:
  The FT-90 is equipped with 1/4" female NPT ports, compatible with standard aircraft fuel lines. Ensure that all connections are secure and leak-free to maintain system integrity.

• Torque Specifications:
  When installing fittings into the transducer, do not exceed a torque of 12 foot-pounds to prevent damage to the unit.

Applications:

The FT-90 is ideal for aircraft with engines rated between 350 and 550 horsepower or those utilizing gravity-fed fuel systems. Its accurate fuel flow measurements are vital for flight planning, fuel management, and monitoring engine performance.
