stable and reliable results even under the most difficult application conditions. Then there are the company’s powerful correction


algorithms. Based on many years of experience, FLEXIM continually developed the FLUXUS measurement algorithm, which automatically adapts to varying application conditions. Especially under non-ideal conditions with high pipe wall echoes, transducer positioning errors or a strong signal damping caused by exotic pipe materials or the medium itself, FLEXIM’s correction algorithms play out their full advantage by unambiguously recognising such errors and eliminating them.


Non-intrusive technology The company’s non-intrusive technology offers reliable measurement on the smallest pipes (for example 1


Measurement is possible on just about every liquid


medium and pipe material, regardless of the conductivity. Standard transducers may be used at temperatures from


-20°C to 130°C - the temperature range of the high temp versions extends up to 200°C. The patented WaveInjector system expands the measurement range of FLEXIM’s standard transducers from cryogenic temperatures at -160°C up to 400°C. Also, since the ultrasonic transducers are mounted on the


outside of the pipe, the measurement is not pressure sensitive. Measurements at high operating pressures do not result in any extra costs whatsoever. With over 100 years of flow measurement experience,


ABB’s flow meter portfolio includes products that are designed to solve problems, increase profits and save costs. The company particularly focuses on solutions that are


accurate, reliable, use advanced processing solutions, and which are tough and easy to work with. For example, the company’s coriolis mass flow meters are


a universal solution to measure flow, density and temperature, even for non-conductive fluids. Its thermal mass flow meters ensure gas flow measurement


without the need for pressure or temperature compensation, and its vortex and swirl flow meters offer best-in-class steam flow measurement with short upstream and downstream piping requirements.

Enhanced noise filtering Particularly popular with the process industries (Fig. 1) are ABB’s comprehensive range of electromagnetic flow meters. Here, for example, ProcessMaster improves process control by as much as 60 per cent using innovative signal processing and enhanced noise filtering technology. The FSM4000 flow meter provides best in class performance for pulp and paper, mining and other high solid content flow measurement. With its robust measurement and ease of installation,


WaterMaster is a rugged product aimed at water and waste water industry. In water applications where power and communications are limited the AquaMaster, with its battery and wireless communications, is the total flow metering solution. ■
