FLUID COMPONENTS Product Lines We Repair
Our engineers are trained on the full FLUID COMPONENTS product range. Below are the major product families we service.
ST Series Thermal Mass Flow Meters
Inline thermal mass flowmeters for steam, gas, and compressed air measurement. Common repairs include sensor element fouling, bridge amplifier failures, and zero/span drift on 4-20mA outputs requiring recalibration and electronics restoration.
FLT Series Flow Transmitters
Microprocessor-based flow transmitters with analog and HART digital output. Typical faults involve sensor failure, circuit board degradation, and calibration loss requiring complete electronics overhaul and HART function verification.
Switch Series Flow Detection Instruments
Compact thermal mass flow switches for safety shutoff and alarming applications in hazardous service. Repairs address sensor contamination, relay contact issues, and logic module failures in corrosive or high-temperature environments.
Coriolis Mass Flow Meters
High-accuracy Coriolis-effect instruments for density-independent mass flow measurement in caustic and food-grade fluids. Common issues include vibration sensor electronics failure and zero offset drift post-installation or after process upset events.
Analog Output Sensor Modules
Standalone sensor and transmitter modules for retrofit into existing flow loops. Repairs involve bridge amplifier component-level work, gain resistor recalibration, and offset trimming to restore accuracy within +/- 2% of full scale.

Common FLUID COMPONENTS Equipment Faults We Fix
Based on 30+ years of repair data, these are the most frequent failure modes we see in FLUID COMPONENTS equipment arriving at our workshop.
- ✓Thermal sensor element fouling or oxidation — Fluid Components thermal mass flowmeters measure flow via heat transfer between primary and secondary sensor elements. In Indian refining and steam systems, dust, scale, and corrosion deposits reduce thermal coupling, causing erratic readings and complete loss of signal on 4-20mA output.
- ✓4-20mA output stuck at zero or full scale — The FCI transmitter bridge amplifier or output coupling capacitors fail due to thermal cycling in outdoor industrial installations across hot Indian plains. Component aging or power surge damage disables the analog signal path entirely.
- ✓HART communication timeout or garbled transmission — Fluid Components HART-enabled transmitters often fail in electromagnetically noisy Indian chemical plants and foundries. Sensor cable termination corrosion, shielding degradation, and modem IC component failure prevent proper HART handshake with control systems.
- ✓Zero offset drift or calibration loss after pressure transient — FCI instruments in high-pressure pharmaceutical and dairy processing loops experience instantaneous pressure spikes that shift zero offset in the bridge amplifier or trim potentiometer solder joints. Thermal shock during CIP cleaning also induces mechanical stress on sensor-to-electronics interface.
- ✓Relay contact stiction in FCI switch instruments — FCI thermal switch models (SFS series) used for steam or gas safety shutoff in Indian textile mills and food plants accumulate contact film deposits over years of switching. Low-current switch-mode circuits prove especially vulnerable, failing to energize solenoid valves during demand.
- ✓Sensor wire breakage or high-impedance connection at sensor head — Fluid Components sensor assemblies solder sensors to internal electronics modules. Mechanical vibration in compressor rooms, thermal cycling across Indian seasonal extremes (10-50C), and corrosive steam environments cause cold-solder joints and wire fatigue breaks at the ceramic sensor element interface.

Frequently Asked Questions — FLUID COMPONENTS Repairs
Do you repair Fluid Components instruments anywhere in India?+
Yes. Synchronics has established relationships with FCI equipment end-users across India and repairs the complete Fluid Components portfolio — thermal mass flowmeters, Coriolis instruments, flow switches, and transmitter modules. We provide PAN India door-step pickup from all major cities including Mumbai, Delhi, Pune, Bangalore, Hyderabad, Chennai, Ahmedabad, and smaller industrial clusters. All work is completed at our Vadodara facility using precision calibration benches and HART configuration tools.
Can you recalibrate an FCI ST series flowmeter to match our process requirements?+
Absolutely. Synchronics recalibrates all FCI thermal mass flowmeters — ST75, ST98, ST100, and legacy models — using certified flow benches traceable to international standards. We adjust zero, span, and temperature compensation to match your specific fluid, temperature range, and 4-20mA or HART output scaling. Recalibration certificates with accuracy plots are provided on every repair.
What is your turnaround time for FCI HART transmitter repairs?+
Synchronics typically completes FCI transmitter diagnostics and repairs within 5-7 working days, with expedited turnaround (2-3 days) available for critical petrochemical and refinery shutdowns. We maintain bench-top HART masters and curve-tracing tools to diagnose bridge amplifier faults, replace modular electronics, and verify HART slave functionality before shipment. All tests are documented with before-after traces.
Do you handle warranty or OEM compliance repairs on Fluid Components equipment?+
Yes. Synchronics is an independent authorized service provider for Fluid Components instruments across India. We use OEM-specification parts, maintain FCI technical documentation, and adhere to factory recalibration protocols. For original equipment warranty work, we provide full traceability documentation and coordinate directly with your FCI account manager. Non-warranty repairs are processed competitively without third-party markups.
Can you replace a failed FCI sensor element or transmitter module on-site?+
Synchronics offers both depot repair and on-site module exchange for critical Fluid Components installations. For high-risk processes (refining, pharmaceutical), we can supply loaner instruments while yours is being restored, minimizing production downtime. Field replacement of sensor cartridges or plug-and-play transmitter modules is performed at select customer locations in Mumbai, Pune, and Gujarat. Contact our applications team for on-site service availability.
How do I send my FLUID COMPONENTS unit for repair?+
Pack the unit securely and courier it to our Vadodara workshop. Include a note with the fault description and your contact details. We will log it into our system and WhatsApp you a job number within 24 hours of receipt. Doorstep pickup is available in Vadodara, Ahmedabad, Surat, Mumbai, and Pune.
What is the cost of repairing a FLUID COMPONENTS drive or PLC?+
Repair cost depends on the model and the fault. We offer a free diagnosis — once we identify the fault, we provide a fixed quotation before proceeding. Typical repairs cost 20–40% of the new unit price. We will never repair without your approval.
What warranty do you provide on FLUID COMPONENTS repairs?+
All repaired units carry a 6-month comprehensive warranty covering the same fault and related issues. If the fault recurs within the warranty period, we repair it free of cost.
Do you provide a no-fix, no-fee guarantee?+
Yes. If we cannot repair your FLUID COMPONENTS unit after diagnosis, you pay only the diagnosis fee (₹500–₹1,500 depending on the product). The unit is returned to you at no additional charge.
