FCC800 Coriolis Mass Flow Meter

Introduction

The FCC800 Coriolis Mass Flow Meter stands out by directly gauging the mass flow of fluids, whether liquids or gases, through the detection of subtle forces created when the substance moves through specially shaped, oscillating pipes.

Beyond just mass flow, this device also delivers readings on the fluid's density, its temperature, and even calculates volume based on the mass info. What makes it shine are traits like spot-on linearity, quick reaction times, and solid resistance to shakes and jolts, which suit it perfectly for setups in ships and offshore operations.

Built with marine standards and ISO guidelines in mind, the FCC800 leverages Coriolis tech to boost control over processes, sharpen fuel tracking, and heighten safety in nautical environments.

Working principle

At the heart of the FCC800 is the Coriolis effect, a smart way to measure flow using three main steps in its flow measurement:

1. Starting the Vibration: The meter's tubes receive a steady buzz from mechanical drivers, creating a reliable rhythm that serves as the starting point for identifying any shifts caused by the flowing material.
2. Flow and the Twist Effect: When the fluid passes through these humming tubes, it triggers Coriolis forces that slightly warp the tubes' movement: the bigger the flow's mass, the more noticeable the twist becomes.
3. Picking Up and Crunching the Data: Sensors catch these tiny changes in the tubes, and the built-in processor turns them into precise calculations for mass flow, density, and temp. From there, the results feed out via analog signals, digital links, or bus systems to connect with broader controls.

Key features

Crafted for top-notch precision, toughness, and easy hookup to existing setups, the FCC800 Coriolis Mass Flow Meter for marine use holds up strong in tough, real-world conditions.

1. Straightforward Mass Flow Reading: It captures mass flow head-on with Coriolis methods, skipping any tweaks for pressure or heat. This leads to consistent, trustworthy outcomes no matter if you're dealing with gases or liquids.
2. Built-In Density and Temp Monitoring: All in one unit, it gives you mass flow alongside density and fluid temperature. Perfect for getting a live view of things like fuel handling or shipboard fluid ops.
3. Tough Build for Sea Conditions: Its sturdy sensors are made to handle bumps, vibrations, and the rough ride of boats or rigs at sea. Ideal for non-stop use in challenging spots.
4. Spot-On Precision and Reliability: With great straight-line accuracy and speedy feedback, it's spot-on for keeping tabs on fuels, ballast, or industrial mixes. It shrugs off outside noise for steady results even on the waves.
5. Versatile Outputs and Connections: Offers 4-20 mA signals, pulse counts, and RS-485 for digital chats via Modbus. Slides right into ship controls, distributed systems, or automation networks.
6. Broad Fluid Compatibility: Works with all sorts of densities and stickiness levels, from heavy oils and diesels to lubes, hydraulics, or even air. Its small size makes fitting it into tight ship spots a breeze.
7. Easy Setup and Use: Comes with a clear screen and simple tweaks, speeding up installs and fixes. Helps cut time lost during setup or tweaks.
