Spool Piece Ultrasonic Flowmeter <FST>

Spool Piece Ultrasonic Flowmeter(type:FST)

( 1:24 )

Ex-proof version

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
