The
SITRANS FCS400 sensor is suitable for both indoor and outdoor installation with
Protection Class IP67/NEMA 4X. The meter is certified for hazardous areas with
ATEX, IEC Ex and FM approvals.
The sensor design consists of process connections, inlet and outlet manifolds
mounted in a stiff frame and two parallel tubes equally sharing the process
medium flow. The meter is protected in a pressure-rated stainless steel
enclosure with two purge ports to support a pressure guard in non-Ex
applications.
The sensing tubes have a CompactCurve design which gives high sensitivity and
low pressure loss. The CompactCurve was selected to ensure that the smallest
flows are measured with optimal signal to noise ratio.
The sensor frame isolates the metering section from plant vibration by
conducting them directly through to adjacent pipeline. Careful mounting of the
pipeline with regard to minimizing vibration at the meter will ensure a secure
measurement environment.
In order to make a complete flowmeter system, the SITRANS FCS400 flow sensor
must be combined with the transmitter SITRANS
FCT030.

Benefits
Reliable measurements due to high signal to noise ratio
Effective separation of measurement from plant vibration
Secure, digital transfer of measurement data to the
Transmitter
Highly secure operation in safety critical applications
Because it is narrow and light, it fits neatly into dense
piping arrangements
Short overall length; easy drop-in replacement into most
existing installation
Easy maintenance because modules can be exchanged rapidly
SensorFlash transfers setup and operating data and
provides simple sensor replacement
