Flow meter

Part of ABB’s FlowMaster family, ProcessMaster incorporates features providing users enhanced performance with reduced complexity. Available in sizes 3 to 2000 mm, the ProcessMaster range offers a wide choice of liner and electrode options, enabling it to meet the needs of demanding applications.

Options include a high-temperature design model in combination with a reinforced PTFE, suitable for hot-fluid applications up to 180°C. Additional liner choices include hard rubber, soft rubber, PTFE, ETFE and PFA for all applications including those requiring protection against abrasion and chemical attack.

Self-cleaning and double-sealed electrodes ensure enhanced reliability and performance. The use of high-frequency excitation, combined with advanced filtering, further improves measurement accuracy by reducing the impact of fluid and electrode noise. The increased excitation frequency has been shown to reduce the background noise by up to 65%.

An IP68 (NEMA 4X) optimised sensor design is also available for applications requiring complete protection.

Four electronics cartridge options result in cost savings on inventory control, when compared to ABB’s previous offering of 14 cartridge variants. Featuring active/passive current and pulsed outputs, the slimmed down cartridge offering helps simplify installation and reduce spare part costs and inventory. Each cartridge can be deployed in integral, pipe-mounted and remote installations, with an Ex version also available for hazardous area locations.

A four-button keypad with soft key function enables operators to quickly scroll through and select options, simplifying operation, maintenance and training and reducing cost of ownership. The standard HART protocol enables online modification and monitoring of parameters.
