With the Sitrans FS230, a combination of the new Sitrans FST030 transmitter and the classic Sitrans FSS200 clamp-on sensor, Siemens launches a new generation of digital ultrasonic clamp-on flowmeters. This new high-precision, noise-immune flowmeter is suitable for all sectors requiring high-quality fluid flow measurement, such as water and wastewater treatment, energy, food & beverage, pharmaceuticals and chemicals.
The Sitrans FST030 transmitter features an innovative Digital Sensor Link (DSL) that digitizes the signal instantly after measurement, minimizing external influences and optimizing the signal-to-noise ratio. Thanks to its unprecedented data update rate of 100 Hz and its integrated PerformancePLUS algorithm, the transmitter detects even the smallest flow fluctuations with consistently high flow accuracy of 0.5 to 1 % and very high zero-point stability. Its patented pipe configuration menu allows the user to select the most diverse supply anomalies, automatically compensating for any resulting measurement errors in both directions. In addition, the Sitrans FST030 transmitter offers a wide range of simulation and diagnostic options for detecting and displaying changes in signal quality, sound velocity, temperature, fluid type and air bubble content. This increases process transparency and considerably simplifies preventive maintenance.
The Sitrans FST030 transmitter stands out for its ease of installation and use. It comes with numerous built-in commissioning wizards and simple mounting hardware. The customizable display (HMI) offers six different views for adapting and visualizing multi-parameter measurements such as gross/standard volumetric flow, density or mass flow. Unique support tools provide direct access to all operational and functional data, certificates and audit logs. Menu structures, system modules and display (HMI) are identical to those of the tried-and-tested Coriolis Sitrans FCT030 transmitter.
The Sitrans FST030 transmitter has been developed to work with the classic Sitrans FSS200 range of clamp-on ultrasonic sensors, which can be installed without process interruption on pipes with nominal diameters up to DN 10000. With no moving parts and no contact with fluids, the Sitrans FS230 system is virtually maintenance-free and features low operating costs.
