Thermal Mass Flowmeter Sensyflow

Product catalog summary
Overview: ABB Instrumentation offers advanced solutions for direct gas mass flow measurement using thermal mass flowmeters, specifically the Sensyflow series. These devices are designed for high accuracy, wide measuring range, and robust performance without moving parts, making them suitable for various industrial applications.
Key Features:
  • Direct mass flow measurement with no need for additional pressure or temperature compensation.
  • High measuring accuracy and wide measuring range.
  • Short response time and negligible pressure loss.
  • Robust design with no moving parts, ensuring vibration-proof operation.
Measurement Principle: The Sensyflow flowmeters operate on the 'Hot Film' anemometer principle, where heat loss from a heated object is proportional to the gas mass flow rate. This principle ensures high operational reliability and resistance to contamination.
Calibration and Certification: ABB's calibration systems are accredited by the German national metrology institute, ensuring high precision and long-term stability. The systems are capable of calibrating various gases and gas mixtures under realistic conditions.
Applications: Sensyflow devices are used in diverse industries such as automotive, chemical, environmental, food and beverages, and process engineering. Specific applications include gas mass flow measurement, burner controls, fermentation gas analysis, and compressed air balance studies.
Product Variants:
  • FMT500-IG: Features include patented digital measured value acquisition, separate gas temperature measurement, and on-board diagnostic functions. It supports multiple applications with a single system.
  • FMT400-VTS: Compact and reliable, suitable for hygienic applications with integrated Hot Tap fitting.
  • FMT200-D: Designed for compressed air, nitrogen, and biogas measurement, offering easy installation and negligible pressure loss.
  • FMT700-P: High-end device for air flow measurement with highest accuracy, suitable for engine and component test benches.
Approvals and Certifications: The products have various certifications including ATEX, GOST Russia, FM/CSA, and DVGW, ensuring compliance with international standards.
Company Information: ABB is a global leader in power and automation technologies, operating in around 100 countries with approximately 111,000 employees.

Thermal Mass Flowmeter Sensyflow-2

High measuring accuracy Wide measuring range Short response time Negligible pressure loss Sensyflow gas flowmeters directly indicate the mass flow or normalised volume flow as the measuring signal. The mass measurement principle works without any additional pressure and temperature compensation and provides important advantages regarding the measurement: Sensyflow Flowmeters – The Optimal Systems Principle of measurement The system uses the ”Hot Film” anemometer principle. This reliable technique is based on the fact that a flowing gas transfers heat from a heated object. This flow dependant...
