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

The robust vortex flowmeters FSV400 provide reliable measurement of liquid, gas and steam and are available inflange-mount and wafer-type designs.

  • Digital signal processing for volume flow, totalisation and pulse outputs leads to high reliability and flexibility
  • Direct mass 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
Intuitive operation:
  • “Easy Set-up” function for comfortable and easy configuration
  • Clear text display for intuitive operation
  • Meter set-up through the glass with closed cover
  • Meter diagnostics with clear help texts in the display
  • Auto-Zero function for noisy applications
  • Common usage philosophy with ABB’s flow meters and other 2-wire measurement products from ABB
The functional design makes VortexMaster FSV400 adaptable to all processes and conditions.
  • Modern and fast digital signal processing with excellent vibration compensation and meter diagnostics reliable flow measurement

Integrated flow computer functionality for:

  • direct mass flow of saturated and overheated steam
  • direct energy flow calculation for steam
  • energy calculation in heating/cooling circuits
  • net methane measurement and totalisation
  • natural gas calculation according to AGA or SGERG standards
With no moving parts, VortexMaster is nearly wear-free and an ideal replacement for mechanical meters.

As the sensor is placed behind the bluff body, no particle build-up or deposits affect the measurement. Due to its high measuring dynamic and accuracy and its low installation cost the wafer-type design with an insertion length of 65 mm (DIN version) is the perfect alternative to orifice plate flowmeters.
