Smart variable area meters
15 Jan 2000
Variable area (VA) flowmeters are commonplace units in the low-cost, general purpose sector of the market and are not noted for a high degree of sophistication. But now Flotech Solutions has introduced the first Brooks VA meter with HART `smart' options.
This means the Model 3809 VA meters can either be used as standalone instruments or networked into sophisticated control systems like Fisher-Rosemount's PlantWeb architecture.
The 3809 can be supplied to operate at up to 325 degreesC and 420bar, which is said to be the highest pressure rating on the market for variable area meters.
