Overview
VortexMaster flowmeters accurately measure the flow of gases, liquids and steam over a wide range of temperatures. Vortex 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.
VortexMaster FSV430 is available with multiple communication protocols, such as
- 4 to 20mA / HART 7
- Modbus TCP and Profinet via Ethernet -APL
- Modbus RTU
Optionally available:
- Smart HMI with backlight and bluetooth functionality for easy meter set up (Ethernet APL-device only)
- 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
