3.2 Application
The industry today increasingly demands smaller mass flowmeters without loss of performance.
The SITRANS FC300 coriolis mass flowmeter is available in several configurations for direct
mass flow measurement of all kinds of liquids and gasses. The sensor is a multiparameter
device offering accurate measurement of mass flow rate, volume flow rate, density, temperature,
and fraction flow rate.
3.3 Design
The FC300 sensor consists of a single tube bent in a double pipe geometry, and welded directly
to the process connections at each end. The sensor is available in two material configurations
(AISI 316L or Hastelloy
®
C22 with ¼”-NPT or ¼”-ISO process connections).
The enclosure is stainless steel AISI 316L with an encapsulation grade of IP67/NEMA 4.
The enclosure is robustly designed, and with a size of 135 x 205 x 58 mm (5.31“ x 8.07“ x 2.28“)
the sensor is very compact, requiring little installation space.
The standard version sensor has a maximum liquid temperature of 115 °C (239 °F).
The high temperature version with raised electrical connector with raised electrical connector
has a maximum temperature of 180 °C (356 °F).
The sensor can be installed in either horizontal or vertical position. It can be mounted directly
on any plane surface or, if desired, with the enclosed quick-release clamp fitting. A compact
design and the multi-plug electrical connector keeps installation costs and time to a minimum.
