ABB FCB330 and FCB350 CoriolisMaster mass flowmeters

The FCB330 and FCB350 are part of the ABB CoriolisMaster family of direct mass flow measurement products and provide accurate measurements of multiple variables with a single, compact device: flow (mass and volume, with accuracies to 0.1%), density, concentration, and temperature.

The double tube design has no moving parts and requires no up- or downstream piping, saving more than 40% in length and meter volume. The design also uses wider inner tube diameters, producing lower pressure drops and higher capacities.

The FCB330 and FCB350 are designed for applications in the oil and gas, chemical, power, and food and beverage industries. The meter features an optimised sensor with high zero point and temperature stability. A sturdy design and advanced DSP technology allow detection of low flow signals and minimise the effects of pipeline vibration and interference. The meter is self-draining so no measuring media residues can remain inside.

An easy-to-use, three-button menu and text display reduce installation and training time, and the display indicates mass or volume flow rate, percent maximum flow, flow rates in bar graph form, temperature, density and forward or reverse totalisation.

The meters support pipe sizes from DN15 to DN150, and the devices are available as an integral mount design with internal transmitter and as a remote mount design with external transmitter.

Approvals include FDA/3A/EHEDG for hygienic applications. Currently, these devices are available with ATEX or FM hazardous area approvals, with IECEx pending.
