Benefits
One of the world’s first digital ultrasonic flow systems, the FS230 features among others:
- Market-leading accuracy and repeatability – accuracy of 0.5 to 1% of flow rate and repeatability of 0.25% according to ISO 11631
- Best-in-class 100 Hz data update rate – detects even the smallest, most rapid fluctuations in flow
- Digital Sensor Link (DSL) – digitizes the signal at the earliest stage of measurement for a strong signal-to-noise ratio and high-precision measurement
- Simplified installation – multiple setup wizards guide you through every step of commissioning
- Easy-to-use Human Machine Interface (HMI) – fully graphical display with simple menu navigation and the option to display up to 6 customizable parameters at once
