Swirl flowmeters
FSS430 and FSS450
Swirl flow meters combine the measuring dynamics of turbine meters with the robustness and reliability of  Vortex flow metering by requiring shortest upstream / downstream distances. Equipped with digital signal processing (DSP) and advanced filtering techniques, these innovative flow meters from ABB allow improved flow signal detection and provide measurement immunity from the effects of hydraulic noise and pipeline vibration.
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
