Siemens SITRANS FC430 Coriolis flowmeter

The digitally based SITRANS FC430 Coriolis flowmeter features a compact size, a high accuracy of 0.1%, low pressure loss, a stable zero point and a data update rate of 100 Hz.

Support tools provide direct access to all operational and functional data, certificates and audit trails. The SITRANS FC430 also offers SIL3 certification on the system, meeting the highest standards of safety.

The complete FC430 flowmeter system can be ordered for standard, hygienic or NAMUR service. All versions can be ordered for CT service, according to OIML R117 (liquids other than water).

All compact variants can be validated and configured for SIL2 or SIL3 operation. SIL3 operation requires two flowmeters in series, monitored by a SIL-rated control system.

Suitable for both liquid and gas service, the flowmeter has a fast response to rapid changes in flow, making it suitable for fast dosing applications. It also has high immunity to process noise and a high turndown ratio.

The product is available with 4–20 mA analog output with HART 7.2. Additional I/O functions can be freely configured for analog, pulse, frequency, relay or status. The transmitter comes with a user-configurable graphical display, Siemens’ SensorFlash technology, a micro SD card for configuration backup, a firmware update and data storage.
