Ex-proof version
Spool Piece Ultrasonic Flowmeter (FST)
Three pairs of sensors for accuracy of ±0.2% of rate
- ・High accuracy
- ±0.2% of rate
Using the new algorithm for calculating the flow velocity, it can measure any type of fluid with high accuracy. - ・Low maintenance
- With no moving parts, FST has long-term stability while requiring only minimal maintenance work.
- ・Bubble resistant
- By using the advanced anti-bubble measurement technology, the interference from air bubbles is greatly eliminated.
- ・Wide temperature range from -40°C to +150°C
- Non conductive fluid including oil, mixed liquid, purified water can be measured.
- ・Easy-to-operate
- with backlit LCD and front panel operation
- ・IECEx, ATEX, NEPSI, and Japanese ex-proof certification
