Swirl flowmeters
ABB
FSS430 and FSS450
Swirl flowmeters can be utilized for highly accurate measurement of the flow of gases, liquids and steam over a wide range of temperatures in almost any application. Swirl meters are ideal for use on all kinds of gases, low viscose liquids, and demineralized water, and they are ideal for direct, cost-effective steam mass flow measurement.

FSS430
SwirlMaster FSS430 is a unique flow meter for volume flow applications when installation space is narrow. It uses a two-wire transmitter with leading edge DSP-technology with excellent vibration compensation. Intuitive operation directly through the glass makes the FSS430 incredibly user-friendly. Flexibility in installation, due to low required inlet and outlet sections, can save up to 75% straight pipe run and enables installations in almost impossible situations. FSS430 is ideal for installation into existing environment.
SwirlMaster FSS430 is available with multiple communication protocols, such as HART 7, Modbus RTU, Profibus PA, and FOUNDATION Fieldbus.
Optionally available:
- HMI for easy meter set up
- Integrated RTD for temperature compensation and saturated steam mass flow calculation
- Digital outputs for pulses, frequency and alarm signalization
- Remote transmitter with up to 30m (98 ft.) cable length
- Stainless steel transmitter housings
FSS450
SwirlMaster FSS450 is the universal but unique Swirl meter for high-end flow applications. It uses a two-wire transmitter with leading edge DSP-technology with advanced flow computer functionality. Signals from remote sensors like pressure, temperature, density or gas content can be computed directly with the signals from internal flow and temperature. FSS450 is ideal for direct mass flow or standard flow of gases and liquids or direct mass and energy flow on saturated and overheated steam.
SwirlMaster FSS450 is the advanced version with additional analog input for mass or energy flow measurement, available with integral or remote transmitter with up to 30 m (98 ft.) cable length. Because of the optional inputs, discrete flow computers are no longer needed in many applications.
Standard features:
- HMI for easy meter set up
- Analog 4 ... 20 mA input
- Integrated RTD for temperature compensation and saturated steam mass flow calculation
- Digital outputs for pulses, frequency, and alarm signalization
Optionally available:
- Remote transmitter with up to 30 m (98 ft.) cable length
- Stainless steel transmitter housings
- SIL 2
