Siemens: The new digital Coriolis generation for flow measurement
23 June 2016
Because size and integration matter, you get a better bottom line
By choosing SITRANS F C Coriolis flowmeters, you optimize your entire process for increased productivity and a better bottom line thanks to 0.1% accuracy, low pressure loss, extremely stable zero-point and the best-in-class 100 Hz data update.
The digitally based SITRANS FC410 and FC430 are suitable for a broad range of applications, including custody transfer, within the process industry and offer the lightest and most compact Coriolis sensors worldwide.
SITRANS FC410: By choosing the SITRANS FC410 all-in-one flowmeter you can reduce skid size, fit multiple units into the tightest areas, simplify installation into both new and existing applications, and minimize costs. The fully digital generation of compact flowmeters is tailored for direct integration into machine control systems.
SITRANS FC430: The digitally based premium solution SITRANS FC430 with superior de-aeration measurement performance and diagnostics is one of the first SIL 3 certified Coriolis systems, setting new standards for safety and reliability.
SITRANS FC430 is ideal for custody transfer applications, as it offers full OIML and NTEP custody approvals certification, for third part accredited monitoring and billing. This feature is used within the food and beverage industry, where a tailored sensor program is offered.
The SITRANS FC430 flowmeter – “A perfect example of a 100% reliable solution. We could not hope for more.”
Since 1899, the Vandemoortele plant in Izegem, Belgium, has been providing the region with high-value frozen bakery products, packed margarines and shortenings. Employing roughly 5000 workers in 12 European countries, the company owes its success to high standards of quality, innovative production technologies and a certain flair for finding economic alternatives. The latest example is the SITRANS FC430, a Coriolis flowmeter that Vandemoortele uses to optimize the returned margarine melting process.
Coriolis flowmeter solves critical fuel measurement concerns on the high seas
There is a growing need in the marine industry for accurate flow measurement of fuel aboard ships. Increased focus on fuel utilization and fuel security is driving this requirement. The primary concern is the security of fuel stored on the ships, which at times can be misdirected for illicit purposes. Additional uses are in maintaining drive and generator engine performance records of fuel utilization when the ships are at sea or at dock.
The SITRANS FC410 is an optimal choice for most marine applications. Its compact form allows it to be installed in areas where space is limited, while its rugged construction makes it immune to process vibration often found on board ships. On top of that it has ABS approvals, which offer a guarantee of unsurpassed safety and reliability in marine applications.
