Focus on
Flowmeters
Communicate with iOS
devices with this new app
Introduced in September, the Sitrans
Connection Apple iOS communication
application (photo)
is designed for all Sitrans F US
clamp-on ultrasonic flowmeters.
The Sitrans Connection enables
direct communication between
an Apple iOS device (iPhone,
iPad or iPod Touch) and any Sitrans
F US clamp-on flowmeter
to enhance all metering functionalities,
including programming,
operational review, data
logging and download. This application
features full menu visibility
and a complete keypad for
easier navigation and programming.

This two-wire device is
simpler to install
The Proline Promag 200 electromagnetic
flowmeter (photo) is
a two-wire magmeter with the
same measuring performance
as four-wire magmeters. Installation
is simpler and less costly
than a four-wire device because
a separate power supply is not
required. Promag H200 is available
in line sizes of 1/12 to 1 in.
and Promag P200 is available in line
sizes of ½ to 8 in. for measuring flowrates
of conductive fluids with an accuracy
of ±0.5% of range and repeatability
of ±0.2% of range. The flowmeter
operates in process temperatures from
-40 to 304°F. Connections include
welded, threaded, hygienic and flanged
versions that meet EN/DIN PN 16-40,
ASME B16.5 CI 150, CI 300 and JIS
10K and 20K process-connection pressure
ratings. - Endress+Hauser, Inc.

Compact DP flowmeter family
cuts installation & maintenance
This company's family of flowmeters
has been extended to include four
DP (differential pressure) technologies
- orifice, wedge, averaging pilot
Endress+Hauser
McCrometer
and integral orifice (photo). Each family
member is a one-piece flowmeter
incorporating the primary element,
3- or 5-valve instrument manifold
and transmitter in a single, pressuretested
assembly. The compact construction
enhances both performance
and safety as it involves a minimal
number of leakage points compared
with the many potential sources of
leaks found in a conventional, DP flow
installation, says the manufacturer.
The compact family close-couples the
transmitter and the primary measurement
device, thus eliminating the
requirement for long lengths of smallbore
impulse piping, reducing the risk
of installation errors and of blockages
within the tappings. - ABB Measurement

A new connector quickens
installation and setup
With the new Quick Connect Cable,
the FPI Mag electronic flowmeter
(photo) is easier to install and setup
for use. The Quick Connect cabling is
easy to detach, making it possible to
install it before the sensor, thereby allowing
completion of wiring assembly
prior to sensor installation. The Quick
Connect Cable for the FPI Mag flowmeter
is compliant with the IEC IP68
standard, and is resistant to dust and
is watertight to a depth of 1 m. The
Mag flowmeter's advanced microelectrode
sensor compensates for variable
flow profiles, including swirl and turbulent
conditions. The device has an
accuracy of ±0.5% of reading from 1
to 32 ft/s, and ±1% from 0.3 to 1 ft/s.
The signal converter includes built-in
