Product Overview

Take your steam, gas and liquid measurements to a whole new level with the digitally based SITRANS FX330 vortex flow meter. Designed primarily for applications in auxiliary, supply and energy systems, this device is also highly versatile for use in the process industry.

With its new features and enhanced functions like the integrated heat meter, status alarms in conformity with NAMUR NE107 and extensive Ex approvals, the SITRANS FX330 vortex flow meter is ideal for a broad range of chemical, power, and oil and gas installations. The FX330 combines the proven advantages of the well-established sensor design with the latest modern transmitter technology. Also, the FX330 is equipped with temperature compensation as standard for saturated steam applications. Upgrade it with the optional pressure sensor and the device turns into an all-rounder, combining flow, temperature and pressure measurement in one device. The vortex flow meter product line consists of two types of meters: a flange and a sandwich version.

Benefits

• Integrated pressure and temperature compensation
• Temperature compensation for saturated steam included as standard
