The portable clamp-on ultrasonic flow measurement system SITRANS FS290 is formed by the SITRANS FST090 portable clamp-on flowmeter with FSS200 sensors. This system represents the next generation of digital flow measurement which allows you to easily measure or check flows in pipes.
The SITRANS FST090 transmitter is the successor to the SITRANS FUP1010 in a design that has been tried and tested worldwide. The FST090 transmitter ist flexible, versatile, practical: in conjunction with the SITRANS FSS200 clamp-on sensors, it is up to practically any challenge
Can be used with Siemens SITRANS FS Thickness Gauge.
The SITRANS FS290 is often used for temporary checks in water supply and disposal. Cooling or hot water, reference quantities or leaks can be checked quickly in this way. A typical example is the monitoring and testing of fire protection systems or other emergency applications where there is flow.
The portable device is also versatile in the temporary use of measured values for stationary when measuring devices that have been removed for repair or calibration. In fact, the FS290 can be used almost anywhere liquid ultrasonic flow measurement is needed: such as check metering, i.e. the periodic checking of built-in clamp on sensors.
The SITRANS FS290 can be used to measure flow in many different material pipes. However, cement pipes and special plastic composite pipes cannot be used though due to their physical properties.
Inner coatings or liners are stored in the device and are taken into account when entering.
The SITRANS FS290 measures the flow on pipe wall thicknesses from DN 10 (0.39″) to a maximum pipe wall thickness up to 50.8 mm (2.0 inch).
The recommended medium temperature range is from -40 °C to +121 °C. (-40 °F to 250 °F). For higher temperatures Siemens offers high temperature sensors up to maximum 230 °C (446 °F).
The transmitter comes supplied with a liquid table with all common material data for easy media selection. Relevant data can be easily and quickly adopted. The SITRANS FS290 is not suitable for gases, steam and inhomogeneous liquids.
The main benefits at a glance.
- Easy installation: just clamp it on, with no need to cut pipe or stop flow
- Minimal maintenance: sensors do not require upkeep or cleaning
- No moving parts to foul or wear
- No pressure drop or energy loss
- Wide turn-down ratio
- Precise single path measuring
