Reliable, maintenance-free flow measurement with new hi-tech transmitter.

ABB’s robust swirl flow meters are designed for reliable measurement of liquid, gas and steam in volume, mass or energy units.

  • Digital signal processing for volume flow, totalisation and pulse outputs leads to high reliability and flexibility
  • Direct mass/energy flow or standard flow measurement without additional flow computer
  • Hot pluggable display unit with through the glass (TTG) operation
  • Integrated 4…20 mA and HART 7 interface for pressure, gas content, temperature or medium density input
  • Latest hazardous approvals incl. Zone 0 / Zone 20 approvals
  • Low upstream and downstream requirements enable flexible installation without use of a flow straightener.
Intuitive operation:
  • “Easy Set-up” even without manual
  • 4 button operation, optionally through the glass with closed cover
  • Well proven menu structure, common philosophy with other ABB instruments
  • Sensor memory allows the exchange of electronics without recalibration or manual setup
  • Meter diagnostics with clear help texts in the display
  • Auto-Zero function for noisy applications
Lowest up and downstream requirements enable many applications

Immune to turbulence, allows installation:

  • Without additional flow straightener
  • Without pipe reduction
  • Within 3D upstream/1D downstream down to no upstream/downstream
  • Within 5 diameters behind from upstream control valve
Broad range of uses due to advanced electronics

Highly advanced electronics providing:

  • Integral vibration cancellation
  • Wide flow range up to 50:1 flow turn down
  • Highest accuracy in liquid, gas and steam measurement
  • Shortest response time (200ms)
  • Enhanced diagnostic functions for sensor supervision and temperature monitoring
  • Special operation modes for steam energy flow with or without condensate backflow
  • Gas engine for natural gas measurement according to AGA/GERG standards
