Thermal Mass Flowmeter Sensyflow Intelligent solutions for accurate gas mass flow measurement Direct mass flow measurement Robust design No moving parts High measuring accuracy Wide measuring range ABB Instrumentation
Sensyflow Flowmeters The Optimal Systems Sensyflow gas flowmeters directly indicate the mass flow or normalised volume flow as the measuring signal. The mass measurement principle works without any additional pressure and temperature compensation and provides important advantages regarding the measurement: High measuring accuracy Wide measuring range Short response time Negligible pressure loss Thermal measurement principle Principle of measurement The system uses the Hot Film anemometer principle. This reliable technique is based on the fact that a flowing gas transfers heat from a heated object. This flow dependant heat loss is directly proportional to the gas mass flow rate. Leading edge technology has been used to develop a family of highly stable measuring devices and systems, with high operational reliability and excellent resistance to contamination effects. All system components are designed for easy installation and handling. The high reproducibility of measuring results ensures high operational reliability and high measuring accuracy. These devices are suited for applications in all industrial fields demanding quick and precise gas measurement, e.g. the chemical, environmental and process engineering industries, the food and beverages industries, or the automotive industry.
Exactly Calibrated and Certified Calibration systems Due to its high precision, the measuring system requires exact calibration. Each transmitter is submitted to extensive tests, including ageing, and a careful calibration procedure. For this purpose, ABB has ultra-modern test systems. Hypercritical Laval nozzles are used for reference. Consequently high accuracy, high precision and long-term stability requirements are met. The calibration systems are connected to the Deutscher Kalibrierdienst (registration No. DKD-K-05701), the German calibration service, and accredited by the Physikalisch Technische Bundesanstalt (PTB), the German national metrology institute. ABB offers the verification or calibration of customer instruments (both ABB and third party products), also when using other principles of measurement. Process gas calibration A flow calibration system for process gases, which is unique throughout the world, extends the range of calibration services offered by ABB. This allows high accuracy, high precision calibration of flowmeters, with different gases and gas mixtures and under realistic operating conditions. ABB Instrumentation offers technical application information and support in case of any questions related to the measuring range, different gas compositions, etc. Application Know-how ABB Instrumentation supplies customer specific solutions based on Sensyflow, for example for: the utomotive industry for built in flow measurement test benches for motors and components wastewater installations for control of air supply in challenging installation settings gas torch-control systems in glass and ceramics-industries chemical applications using hydrogen as a process-gas volume balancing in air separation plants or compressed air nets. Experience resulting from more than 20 years of application know-how and over ten thousand devices installed worldwide.
