SITRANS FC430 for OEM Customers for
Process Instrumentation

Coriolis Mass Flow Meter
Building on a strong tradition of innovative thinking, Siemens has designed the next generation of Coriolis flow meters for excellence in performance, safety and user-friendliness: the SITRANS FC430. The digitally based SITRANS FC430 flow meter features market-leading compactness, very high accuracy of 0.1%, low pressure loss, extremely stable zero point and best-in class data update with 100 Hz high-speed signal transfer. Unique support tools provide direct access to all operational and functional data, certificates and audit trails.

specifications
With the SITRANS FC430 Coriolis flow meter, process optimization has never been easier - or more innovative.
The flowmeter is based on the latest developments within digital signal processing technology. It is engineered for high measuring performance, including:
Fast response to rapid changes in flow
Measurement of fast-dosing applications
High immunity against process noise
High turndown ratio of flowrates
Suitable for liquid and gas service
Easy to install, commission and maintain
The FC430 is available as standard with Profibus DP/PA, Modbus RS485 or 4-20 mA analog output with HART 7.2. Additional input/output functions can be freely configured for analog, pulse, frequency, relay or status.
The transmitter comes with a user-configurable graphical display and new SensorFlash® technology, a microSD card for configuration backup, firmware update and data storage.
The SITRANS FC430 flow meter system consists of a SITRANS FCS400 sensor and a SITRANS FCT030 transmitter.
